ICP Solar Technologies Inc., a developer, manufacturer and marketer of solar panels and products, today announced that they have entered into a sales contract with Nissan in Europe and North America for OEM solar charger.
A discharged battery is one of the most common problems facing the automotive industry with cars sitting in parking lots for a long period of time in cold or hot conditions. The ICP Solar OEM solar charger will help reduce the related costs and will avoid strong 12V battery drain using the power of the sun.
“ICP Solar Technologies wants to be a major player in the automotive industry which is looking for a more cost effective green solution to the dead battery problem. We have proved in the past with other car manufacturers that this OEM solar charger placed on the dashboard inside the car would be a great cost saving tool for 12V battery in the entire automotive industry,” said Sass Peress, CEO ICP Solar.
“After a very positive test from Nissan Europe with our new OEM Solar charger, equipped with cutting edge suction cups including OBD connector, we are extremely happy that Nissan North America has decided to extend our partnership,” said Tom Clark, Vice President Sales Americas. “With the new generation of cars including more and more electronics embedded such as GPS navigation systems, DVD player, cruise control, hand free cell phones, voice activation, the battery drain on new cars will become more of an issue for major automotive manufacturers and car dealers,” added Clark.
