There is more to the Prius solar than meets the eye,
The particular article above is just poorly written.

Highlights are
34% efficient panels (their goal is to make them cheaply in the future)
Being able to use smaller batteries while gaining daytime electric range and efficiency 700+ watts of solar on a car is nothing to sneeze at.

Toyota is not normally like VW showing off tech you can never own,
So my guess is there are no negatives to consumer grade high efficiency solar coming to market.

The real issue is of when?
