The present invention is a solar charging system for electric vehicles. The system comprising a vehicle roof having multiple layers, with a transparent, toughened glass top or outer layer for protection and visibility. A middle layer integrating solar panels for absorbing solar energy and converting same into electric power. A bottom or inner layer is tinted or transparent. In some embodiments, a charging controller monitors and optimizes the battery charging process. Solar irradiance sensors measure real-time sunlight intensity, enabling automatic disconnection when sunlight falls below a certain threshold. The system can be integrated into new electric vehicles or retrofitted as an aftermarket product. The system recharges the battery pack of the EV and eliminates planning trips around charging/gas stations equipped with electric vehicle charging stations for recharging the battery. Our goal is to present a charging system that is activated when battery level is equal to or less than 80%.
