If the panels are actually putting out 240 watts (probably rated at the ideal inclination and azimuth) then that's roughly 1/3 hp which is a good little chunk considering it's working as long as the sun shines. Of course there's battery losses and it won't be putting out 240 watts all the time so... testing required. But the potential is there for a good benefit. 240 watts almost covers the electrical overhead in a prius so it would be a bit like alternatorless on a regular engine.
