Despite its lightness, it is packed with energy-generating potential.
What truly sets this technology apart is its efficiency.
The energy harvested could either directly power the car’s electric motors or recharge its high-voltage battery pack.
Remarkably, the system would remain active even when the vehicle is parked, continuously generating electricity.
Of course, real-world performance would depend on variables such as shade, sun intensity, and geographic location.
However, Mercedes has provided some theoretical examples to illustrate the paint’s potential.
For now, the exact composition of the paint remains a closely guarded secret.
However, all indications suggest it may be a sprayable perovskite solution.
All estimates and figures should therefore be viewed with cautious optimism.
