The energy produced by the Midsummer modules will potentially reduce the fuel consumption of a truck trailer by 5-10 percent every year in Sweden (and up to 20 percent in sunnier regions).<\/p><p>\u201cThe shipment of the modules is a great milestone in this tremendously interesting and promising project to make commercial vehicles sustainable,\u201d said Midsummer\u2019s CEO Sven Lindstr\u00f6m. \u201cWith electricity from solar<strong> <\/strong>panels the range of a hybrid truck can be extended which will ultimately both save fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. The potential to supply commercial fleets around the world with solar panels is enormous.\u201d<\/p><p>\u201cIt is also a testament to Midsummer\u2019s technological leadership in thin film solar cells.
