Solar powered golf carts by Hydroturf to hit Dubai

In the recent past a few golf carts came to the limelight with more use than run around a massive golf course or resort to transport lazylogs. Especially for the horrid heat of the middle east which makes even the most active of individuals a sloth. UAE has now introduced what is not new in the market, but prevalent, a golf cart that can save up to 70 per cent energy than the regular ones and reduce CO2 emissions by 100 percent. At the second World Future Energy Summit that was held in Abu Dhabi, Dubai-based Hydroturf launched the first solar powered golf carts. It can be used anywhere including golf courses, hotels, resorts, parks and municipalities. The carts have a state of the art SolarDrive roof made up of crystalline solar cells, which charge while they are driving, extending the battery lifetime through continuous charging. It is also a cheaper alternative.

Hydroturf are looking to convert existing fleets and offer solar solutions to all new sales of Club Cars in the UAE in 2009. Not long ago we had mentioned about the Hammacher Schlemmer solar powered Golf kart with its array of 72 photovoltaic cells on the roof and the SunCatcher Solar Powered Golf Car Panels to recharge electric golf car batteries while you are playing your game.
