Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide says it has received a US$9.4m production release for the first production series of solar roofs for Fisker’s Karma brand.
Under the release, Quantum, with affiliate Asola of Germany, will initiate volume production of the solar roofs for the Karma in early 2011.

Quantum claims the roof will be the “largest continuous and most highly curved” solar roof in a passenger car application.
“Quantum is proud to be supporting Fisker by providing key components to enable the Karma vehicle to excel in fuel economy and performance,” said Quantum president and CEO Alan Niedzwiecki.
Fisker Automotive – co-founded by Quantum – secured a Department of Energy (DOE) loan for US$528.7m in April this year.
The DOE loan to Fisker will be used for the development and production of two models of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, including the Karma, a four door sports sedan, and a line of family-oriented models being developed under Fiske’s Project Nina programme.
