That is (IMHO) too small an area of solar panels to power a bus for more than a couple of miles per day.
It will be enough to make a difference. But it is likely more efficient to put the solar panels (plus another 10X that many) on a building, or on the ground, and feed them into the grid .. or into a battery pack that recharges the bus after it gets to the end of it's daily route.
