ELECTRIC-CAR makers and solar manufacturers have long known they share the same potential customers: highly educated and affluent people who are fascinated by technology and care about the environment and energy independence. SunPower Corp., Silicon Valley's largest solar manufacturer, and Ford Motor Co, on Wednesday announced a partnership that is a first for the auto and solar industries. Buyers of a Ford Focus Electric, which will hit the California market later this year, will be offered a deeply discounted rooftop solar system from SunPower.
The "Drive Green for Life" program is designed to provide the cars' owners the opportunity to fuel their vehicles with clean energy as well as having a carbon-free driving experience. SunPower will offer a 2.5kW rooftop system, which should provide enough electricity to fuel an electric car that travels about 1600km a month, for less than $10,000, after the federal tax credit.
