This past May, Sebonack Golf Club in Southhampton, NY converted 39 of their 40 Golf carts into Solar. Earlier this year, the Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course in Hong Kong became the first club in the world to outfit its entire fleet of golf carts with Solar tops. Both claim an annual savings of over $50,000.00 US by going Solar. Hawaii Prince Golf course is on the band wagon as well. They just purchased 10 solar golf cart systems for their fleet. This is definitely a trend that should be watched. I am a dealer for a unique Peel and Stick Solar Golf Cart System that works on ANY golf cart. Custom Cart, Specialized Cart, EZ-GO, Club Car, Yamaha, etc. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me. http://www.solarforgolfcarts.com

Do you also get a rebate from the local power company?

Double Eagle, you forget that other “green” solutions are very popular and politically correct, yet they have no basis in statistical fact that they’re any more eco-friendly than other solutions. Just the fact that you’d have one of these would get some all worked up into a frenzy, whether or not it really saved energy or prevented “global warming.”

I tried to consider this from the capitalist pig perspective (my usual), thinking that since gas is $4/gal. maybe it’s worth it. Unfortunately, 5 miles a day won’t cut it for more than one round. That means the most it can do is 365 rounds per year (in a warm climate). Say a regular golf cart uses a gallon per round. That would save over $1400 in gas. So after a couple of years, it probably starts being worth it. Then you have the tax breaks.

So, while it may have hippie origins, it could be worth it.
