    Cars are an inconvenient and silly location to place solar panels. This concept is just adding engineering complexity that need not be.

        sigh…

        No, it doesn’t. Just because something ‘appears’ to make sense to laymen, doesn’t mean it continues to make sense when you follow through with an investigation.

        It doesn’t make sense. If your goal is to make a crappier version of both a solar panel and a car, sure. But the amount of power you are going to get from the tiny amount of panels you can put into a car versus the massive power consumption they require is negligible. All your assumption shows is that you understand neither solar panels, nor cars.
