I was inspired a bit by the Pininfarina B0 (B zero) in that the area in front of the windshield, as well as the roof, would have solar panels to help recharge the batteries and vent the cabin while parked. The Prius uses that solar vent feature, correct?

It would also allow me to (probably) do a simple-curvature window and not worry about vacuum forming or other more complex production techniques. After all, windows are best without distortion.
