The thin, conformal panels can fit to rounded shapes, but you're still limited by the rectangular outine. See what they do on the solar race cars.

You could use a full tonneau with a curved V-shape of clear plexiglass all the way to the end of the bed (for great visibility) and have a flat roof to put the solar panels on that that could even extend like an inch-thick cab-over over the cab for increased area.
