Cost isn't the driving factor.

The issue is panel efficiency. At <20% efficiency, you need too much surface area to make it worthwhile. Can it make a small difference? Sure. 700 "free" miles is nothing to sneeze at, but when the cost of those 700 free miles is only... .05*700 = $35, it's hard to justify.
