Claim: Because of the Income Tax Credit, light weight, and ability to conform to the shape of golf cart roofs, solar pgolf cart panels are widely used by maintenance workers, golf course fleets, zoo staff and resort and college campus drivers.
Evidence: Solar golf carts are golf carts powered by mounting a photovoltaic (PV) or thin film panel on top of the existing roof or using a PV panel as the roof itself. Buyers can take a solar tax credit of 30% of the purchase price on their US Federal Income Tax. 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. 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.
