Claim: Solar panels on golf carts are widely used by maintenance workers, golf course fleets, zoo staff and resort and college campus drivers because of their light weight, ability to conform to the shape of the room, and the Income Tax credit given for their use.
Evidence: Solar-powered golf carts are popular with owners who drive long distances, such as maintenance workers, golf course fleets, staff at the Detroit Zoo, transportation vehicles in resorts and cities, and drivers of VIP carts on college campuses. Kits utilizing flexible solar panels are often preferred on golf carts due to their light weight and ability to conform to the shape of the cart roof. Buyers can take a solar tax credit of 30% of the purchase price on their US Federal Income Tax.
