Our kind of car wraps!
 

Peel-and-stick PV panels. Great for any sculpted roofs, hood & trunk panels. The House of the Future - Popular Mechanics

I think about (wish for) this too much (cheap, lightweight, durable PV for auto use).

You could even do the windows.

re: ROOF. Think about it for a second, specifically, the roughness factor of roofing surfaces, be they tiles, shingles, or ceramincs. They're ALL surfaces *unfriendly* to accepting flat sticky-backed solar panels.

Every time I get into my car, I wish I had solar panels! :D

I wonder what the efficiency of these are, like 8%?

Would be better if they could be designed to replace the roof.

Why? You could almost keep the battery charged and disconnect the Alternator if your car was covered in PV Panels, as long as you did not drive too much at night.

...then, simply, "clutch" the alternator (ala' A/C compressor) for night-time driving.

Hi
need to do more research on this product as it would be ideal for charging my second battery in motorhome. hopefully if price is right it would act as trickle charger. enough current i would be able power a fan to keep it cool in hot weather.

Flexible panels are soo over rated.

...jeez louise.
 

Well, well...there is a peel & stick solar energy.com and their highly technical installation video. lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OEzARY3w5E

The Cd of that must be horrendous! ;)

That would probably fit better on my Festiva

...just needs a clear plexiglass continuation between the hood solar panel and the roof solar panel to complete the aero "wedge" design.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing!
Move them forward until the first one is 6 inches off the ground and look thru the little slot you have left and you might have something there
I could hook up my trailer behind the car and just tow them around in the slipstream
