Common questions

Everything riders in Ocala ask before they order.

How much range does a solar top add in Ocala?
On an average Ocala day the Ray Rider canopy makes about 1.2 kWh — roughly 13 extra miles on lead-acid batteries and 18 on lithium. Summer runs higher (around 1.31 kWh/day), winter a little lower (around 0.99).
Will it fit my cart?
It fits most carts with standard support posts, including Club Car, Yamaha, and E-Z-GO. The four clamps grip the posts you already have — no drilling, no adapters. Check your exact model before you order.
Does it hold up in Ocala's weather?
Yes. The panel and hardware are outdoor-rated, and the canopy adds shade while it charges. Sun and heat are exactly the conditions it's built for.
Is the install permanent?
No. It clamps on in about 30 minutes with no drilling and no permanent changes, and comes off just as fast. Your warranty stays intact and you can move it to another cart.
Do I still need to plug in?
Sometimes. Solar extends your range and cuts how often you charge, but on heavy-use days it isn't a full replacement for the wall. Think of it as topping off all day, for free, whenever the cart is outside.
