Solar Golf Cart

Sunray Cruize Car Makes Golf Greener

— July 14, 2007 — Autos
The Sunray Cruize Car is a golf cart that replenishes its own power supply via a rooftop of solar panels. Solar panels help out the environment by conserving energy and the government thinks you should be rewarded for doing your part by giving you a tax credit for buying solar.

Implications - Golf is not often thought of as an environmentally friendly sport because of its use of water for lawn maintenance. With that being said, it's interesting to note that golf is getting a greener makeover with these solar-paneled golf carts. Businesses that embrace the eco movement overtly will win over environmental enthusiasts and possibly save some money as well.
Trend Themes
1. Solar-powered Golf Carts - The rise of solar-powered golf carts presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the golf industry by providing environmentally friendly alternatives that attract eco-conscious golfers.
2. Eco-friendly Golfing - The trend towards eco-friendly golfing opens up opportunities for businesses in the golf industry to differentiate themselves by implementing sustainable practices and products.
3. Government Incentives for Solar - The availability of tax credits for purchasing solar-powered golf carts creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the solar energy industry to target the golf market.
Industry Implications
1. Golf Equipment - The golf equipment industry can explore the development of solar-powered golf carts to tap into the growing demand for eco-friendly alternatives among golfers.
2. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry has the opportunity to provide innovative solar solutions specifically designed for golf carts, leveraging the growing trend of sustainable transportation in the golf sector.
3. Sustainability Consulting - Sustainability consulting firms can offer their expertise to golf courses and clubs seeking to adopt eco-friendly practices, including the adoption of solar-powered golf carts, as part of their overall sustainability strategy.
