So I'm thinking using a setup up like this (sketch uploaded)
1. (just the roof rack shape)
2. (cut away of cap). Use the rack to mount a box that holds the batteries charger, the whole set up pretty much. Mount the top of the cap to the box. With the panels angled I would be able to get more sunlight as long as I parked accordingly.
3. make panels in the top to mount the. panels to a "door" of sorts hinged on the front that opens up to the inside of the box, in case maintenance,whatever. Future mod maybe: make 2 doors inside the maintenance door so I can angle the panels to one of the two sides. They wouldn't allow access to the inside, using a panel underneath to keep it seperate.
I'm thinking maybe wood to build the cap from, for now atleast because I'd imagine it would be pretty heavy, wood would be easier to work with, and cheap.
Not decided on the batteries or the other pieces, but I'm going to order the 2 100w panels from home depot.
The way the doors open on the Arcimoto are interesting, I was just gonna start with a prop rod, maybe future mod Auto tracking?
I'm not exactly sure what I'll power with these. I know I'm going to get an inverter, maybe start with a tv but
