Last time when Mamarazzi used to fetch me home from school she had to park under the blazing sun while waiting for my class to end. To save petrol , she would turn off the engine and wait for me outside my school.
When I got into the car, I would sweat like mad.
This was the temperature when Papa fetch me home from school the other day. Am sure it's not good for the car. The interior material would spoilt fast.
Papa and Mamarazzi likes to takes plastic bottles of water when traveling. Surely it's not good as I noticed sometimes these plastic bottle had gone out of shape.
There was once the windscreen of the the car broke too. Could be due to parking under the hot sun and the heat in the car was just too high.
Mamarazzi was thinking how nice it is it someone could come out with car cooler that would efficiently lower down our car's temperature and at the same time extending the life span of our car's interior material as we know that under high heat they are prone to release all kind of harmful fumes, wear and tear faster.
It was like a dream come true when she read Terry's blog. Terry of My Journey With Candida Blog introduced this terrific solar car cooler named Kulcar. This device harvest solar energy which is environmental friendly.
She left a comment wishing for one too and Terry had put her in touch with Sonray Technology Inc.
*Thanks, Terry!*
A few days later, we received Kulcar Solar Car Cooler from Sonray Technology Inc.
Kulcar Solar Powered Car Ventilator came in a neat box with instruction attached.
From Sonray Technology Inc website, she gathered that Kulcar Solar Powered Car Ventilator :-

The temperature inside a sealed car under blazing sun can quickly exceed 89~90 degree Celsius.When the temperature exceeds 65 degree Celsius, harmful fumes will
like methyl, acrolein, butanone, toluene, benzene, propyl
benzine,etc.,are released from a car's interior materials.These
compounds are all known to be cancer causing poisonous chemicals.
Careful testing has proven that the TVOC level of these
compounds can exceed 12 times the cancer causing hazardous warning level
when a car is parked under a blazing sun for only one hour. Cancers of unidentifiable origin have been the top killer for 31 consecutive years.
Volvo, a world leader in car safety
has ensured that all new cars are equipped with the CZIP system as of
2013. When a car is parked under the sun, the CZIP system automatically
pumps out the hot and hazardous air inside the car prior to the driver
entering.Leading car makers are now concerned with not only driver
safety,but also passenger health and safety.
She can't wait to install the solar cooler in our car. Here is the strip of rubber which Mamarazzi trimmed according to the size of our car window.
It's easy to install Kulcar Solar Car Cooler. Even a 5 year old kid like me can do it...with a bit help from Mamarazzi.
Here is how it looks from inside the car
The solar car cooler sure does it job well. Once the solar panel was under the sun, the fans immediately start working.
Mamarazzi purposely attached a strip of paper on the Kulcar Solar Car Cooler to show how strong is the wind coming from the fans.
