The german company Sion [0] is close to launching a reasonably priced, solar covered car. For me, their open approach is more important than the solar panels.

They have a strong commitment to the community and are transparent and publish regular reports and insights to their progress. They also take a open-source aproach to maintenance, basically releasing everything you (or your local repair shop) need to fix things, and they try to choose readily available parts when possible.
