Additionally, under the terms of an already executed supply arrangement, Quantum will be the exclusive supplier of solar roof modules for the Fisker Karma.
The solar roof module is designed to generate approximately 130 watts of clean renewable electricity, according to the company, which helps keep Karma's interior cool while parked in the sun, and trickle charge a 12V ancillary battery when the car is parked for long durations.
"This large solar photovoltaic roof is a signature feature of the Fisker Karma luxury high performance plug-in hybrid electric sedan," said Alan P. Niedzwiecki, president and CEO of Quantum.
"We are pleased that Fisker Automotive is quickly moving this technology forward to production by the end of this year, and plan to ramp up to volume production starting in early calendar year 2011," said Reinhard Wecker, founder and CEO of Asola.
