RE: Solar Panel
good to know, thanks for looking into that

I kinda stand corrected the other day after working on one of our stock cars I walked by it and heard a fan noise I thought I left the car in ACC mode but when I opened the door it wasn't in ACC mode so I assume it was the Solar Panel coming into play with the system I haven't seen it on any other cars yet I guess randomly some cars it works in .Grebechini said:Sorry guys but I disagree. My cabin fans definitely run and move air thru the cabin when my car is in the sun. Now I'm not sure if the "preconditioning" (heating or A/C as I understand it)is enabled, but there is air circulation taking place.
I have notice the same thing. Seems to be working for me.Deep Ocean said:New Update, the other day ( probably 75 degrees fahrenheit ) I noticed the fan running on my car while sitting in the driveway. So I take it back, I guess the fan does work after all.
Since other people are syaing their's are running, I am thinking abotu reporting mine to my dealer to check when it goes in for 6.15 and my delivered damaged parts replacement.Sportsmeddoc said:no luck for me here in AZ- always hot- 80's - had the car for 2 months- never had the fans run inside and in the sun quite a bit- how do I get that to work?
I disagree the solar panel at this point does produce power the interface is what doesn't work .If I hook up my workshop tool I can actually monitor how much power is being produced . Also after software downloads and the car needed to go to sleep we remove the fuse #27 for the solar panel to make that the system goes fully to sleep . One other thing I don't think an ETA when the interface for the panel is going to be up and running with all the other issues the engineers are trying to fix the solar panel is on the bottom of the list at this point just my 2 centsMike said:I have been told by a very knowledgeable Fisker buddy that the solar panel is not in fact part of the generating plant yet. It is wired to go but has not yet been added to the software to enable it to operate. He says they are rolling out features with each software update to better track problems. Also, I'm told once operational, the roof's primary job will the interior of the car. By generating power used by the car interior it will cause less drain on the main batteries. As always.. who knows for sure but that's the latest I have heard.
What about the voices? What are they saying? j/kSkibum said:My car is currently sitting in my driveway on a bright , sunny Northern California day. I just walked by the car and could hear the interior fans working...
My apologies for posting my observation regarding the Energy Flow screen as a new topic. I should have posted it in the Solar Panel thread to preserve the continuity of the discussion. So I merged the two threads to avoid covering ground we have already covered.Fabulist said:[video=youtube]http://youtu.be/Y--eS2EJt0w[/video]
