This is a complete waste of time. Cells attached to the car will net you way less energy than they claim (well they claim distance, i dont know if their wh/km or wh from the panels is off, but one or both are). Panels on the car could help prevent charge loss while parked for long periods or in extreme cold but its less and less necessary as capacity steadily increases. The only reason this might be useful is if you want to be a nomad amd never use charging infrastructure. But youd get way more energy for way less money by carrying panels in the trunk of your car or converting a large rv to solar and carrying panels as well. As panels get cheaper we will see more cars with solar but it will be small and for air con and stopping charge loss, not range.
