Why? Other than possibly something to keep the 12V battery topped up. You add parasitic weight & drag to something that's hardly ever going to be in a good position to collect solar energy.

You might even see totally clueless people - the sort that leave their engines running in parking lots - parking in full sun so they can run the A/C, when the car'd stay cooler if parked in the shade.
