I know that on a cars roof probably doesn't make too much sense, but what about on a trailer or truck bed cover?

I'd like to see solar panels on every car roof someday. Heck read the Prius and Leaf forums to see how many 12v batteries go dead before their time due to the anemic charging strategy used on hybrids and EVs.

There is a tiny solar panel on the top of the Leaf SL and the Prius Plug in but it'd be nice to see panels get cheap enough that it's common to see panels built into the roof of all cars.
