I realize that they make better heaters then coolers, altho my plan is to someday ad 40 to 60 watts of pv to the roof of the car, being able to switch the PV between battery charging and vehicle cooling would just be an added bonus, primary goal tho is vehicle heating, the current cooling by opening a window works just fine.
I'm really liking the idea of being able to suck heat out of the motor, keeping the motor cool instead of letting it just cool down as it gets hot.
