Abstract: An arrangement for ventilating the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle having a hinged roof cover, having one or several electric fans as well as a solar module integrated into the roof cover. The fans are constructed as axial-flow fans and are arranged in the area below the rear transverse edge of the roof cover. The axial-flow fans are coupled kinematically with the roof cover and its frame in such a manner that, when the roof cover is raised, they are swivelled in a forced manner into an effective position in the air gaps and, when the roof cover is closed, are swivelled into an ineffective position inside the roof recess without significantly reducing the headroom. The solar module which covers the roof cover for the most part is constructed in the semiconductor thin-film technique and, in a locally limited manner, has a transparency for the incident sunlight.
