Designing Lightyear One: the solar roof
Simone Regondi — PV Engineer
At Lightyear, we all appreciate the unique value of Lightyear One’s solar roof; it’s a direct clean energy source and a core technology we are developing. As a photovoltaics engineer I am working on integrating the solar cells, both electrically and mechanically. Currently, we’re mainly focusing on process optimization, improving technology maturity level and bringing parts to a manufacturing quality.
Lightyear One’s solar roof is composed of 3 main elements
Lightyear One’s solar roof is composed of 3 main elements. The first is the top layer, made of glass. It protects the solar cells while letting light in, and gives a smooth surface to the roof.

The solar roof has a unique curvature in order to maximize the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance of Lightyear One. To create the right stren..
Sustainability at Lightyear

Indirect CO2 emissions of electric power plants supplying grid charging can be low or even zero when coming from renewable sources. Carbon emissions, however, also occur during the making of a car and at the end-of-life of a vehicle. At Lightyear, we are building up o..
