One sunny day is all it takes to charge its plugin battery from almost empty to almost full.

The studded panels look weird though. Not a permanent fixture?
I would make a solar carport or mobile solar charging trailer in order to get most voltage and bang for my bucks

Those roof panels on a prius would cost some Dollars aka Doll Hairs to replace ...if solar cell /PV where there there now Tesla and others would go there there
