I too would like to get info on these 300 watt flex panel for $65. How big are they?

My car has rather large and reasonably flat roof (and hood, but then there is the mirror effect), and I do not drive it much during the week even in pre-covid times. And I do not have a garage. So if it would be charging itself during the week, it would not hurt my feelings to go grocery shopping on that charge, leaving the engine for when I want to have fun or go far. I probably could get away with non-fun trips with a total range of 30mi in a week.

I never understood why they never brought the Smart Roadster to the US. I guess they expected the typical Smart owner here to be horrified for having something sporty/fun under that brand.
