Copenhagen Exclusive - article by Tatjana Johnsson on SolarDrive technology

Copenhagen Exclusive is distributed to a number of the capital's most exclusive hotels - a high end free international travelers' magazine featuring articles on design, architecture, fashion, art & culture and business.

The summer/fall 2008 issue of the magazine carries an article on SolarDrive golf car solar panel roofs: Going Green - Revolutionizing The World Of Golf.

"No one knows what tomorrow brings but solar panels will very likely be on the agenda in the future for golf carts. There are plenty of dollars to save by converting to solar panels within any golf business. Not only within the green lanes of the sport are there plenty of opportunities for this little wonder vehicle. Other industries are keen to try it out too including the postal service in Japan, airports, zoological gardens and the likes, villages concentrated with seniors as seen in sunny California, ice cream and hot dog wheelers just to mention a few. The sky is the limit and a Danish company SolarDrive is leading the way! "
