[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 535865, member: 35153"] Considering the area of panels needed to provide a meaningful amount of power and the area available on a car for those panels there would seem to be little point. I would guess an average of around 3.5 miles per kWh assuming you could generate say 600w from small area panels not aligned at the sun, you would be generating at a rate of 2.1 miles per hour. I doubt that even 600w would be possible but even at that, the additional cost and weight IMHO makes it not viable. [/QUOTE]
