I have seen a bunch of carts with solar panels on the roof! They use electronics to boost the voltage high enough to charge the 48V pack. I don't like this option and I would not use it myself but a bunch of folks here have them. My reasons for not using are simple: I don't store my cart in the sun but in a garage. The charging current is not that significant when compared with the run current so it would only increase my range a small percentage. It's an expense and complication that I don't need.
