Solar Golf Cart Kits: Let the Sun Power Your Wheels!

How cool are these?  Now you can take your existing golf cart and turn it into a green machine.  With one of the 187W models, you pretty much will never have to plug it in again, as long as you keep it exposed to sunshine.

I can see these being especially useful in communities like Sun City, AZ, where pretty much everyone drives golf carts, even to the movies.  And for companies that have carts for patrolling grounds, like security companies.  And the obvious one is golf courses, what a great way to boost a course’s green cred.

The coolest part may be the cost.  They are pretty affordable at $1000-$2000, but with the incentives in  place now the cost is actually much lower.  The feds have a tax credit for solar systems, which is 30%.  So for a $1,200 system, they really only cost you about $840.  Then with the accelerated depreciation program they have, these systems will pay for themselves in about 2 years.  Plus the battery will last longer since you wont be cycled down as much.  Check out the Solar Golf Cart Kits here for more info.
