If the car is parked in the sun anyways, at least you'll get a little free energy!

We haven't tested out the solar panels yet, so I am not sure exactly how much power they create.

They also may be used to top off the 12v "accessory" battery which runs the headlights, main contactor, windshield wiper, etc.
