I think it's a fine gimmick to have the solar roof do some cooling when parked - I hate getting into a scorching hot car in summer. But is it really so unfeasible to have it do more? Do some Battery Minder style charging of the 12V for example, or add even a little back into the traction battery. Add some intelligence to it that the driver can interact with. Example, driving to work in the morning and parking all day is different from driving to the mall on Saturday and parking for an hour or two. Very different things can be accomplished in those scenarios. And even while underway it seems you should be able to get some juice from it into the regen loop.
