That panel is just under 8ft by just over 4ft. So basically same size as a sheet of plywood, i.e. the size of the bed of a long-bed pickup truck.
That's not going to fit on the roof of most cars.
- Schroedingersat 4y agoSplit it into quarter cell tiles and it fits easily on the roof, boot, and hood. Then there's the sides which produce a significant amount of power in any orientation unless you're right on the equator.
