What's wrong?
Did you just not apply any critical thinking to this at all? Guess not.
Where do I start.
First of all the average life of a car in the US us 11 years, solar panels should last at least 25 yesrs.
So tell me more about how throwing away solar panels with about 60% life saves the planet...
Car roof top solar panels are at a non ideal angle to the sun. Flat sucks. They should of be on a homes roof top.
Any sun collected after the battery is charged is wasted.
The panels are throwaway once they are damaged, I seriously doubt they are any near as tough as framed panels protected by 1/8 inch tempered glass.
Nothing about this is right.
You want a solar powered car, get roof top solar panels a leaf and save about 200,000 dollars.
