I have several of those Kaneka panels.
It would be ideal to run a couple of those to a 48V electric vehicle. (I happen to own two - a motorcycle, and a Citicar, both are 48V)
By keeping everything at that same voltage, and not converting DC to AC to DC, it should actually be very efficient.
Still, check with your utility on if they have a renewable energy program. Usually you are charged a couple bucks more per month to get energy from renewable sources. Your extra cash goes to help build more windmills, bio-gas plants, solar, etc.
My electric bill is about $35 a month, INCLUDING, the green energy surcharge.
