Here is an interest item I found on this topic, a TV station's vidoe on Ag (agriculture) students' conversion of Ford tractor. Interesting that the video is from [15 Jul 2012], but their design had a solar roof ability ...

Over the past five months they have been working to breathe new life into one old ford. With the turn of a switch, the tractor built by Bonham High School's Ag power and technology course is off and running, but you may notice something is missing; the engine noise. "It originally had a four cylinder gas powered motor in it that made about thirty horsepower," said Clint Minnick, who teaches the class. After six months of work by students the tractor has a lot more power and makes a lot less noise. "This electric motor has about 60 horsepower," said Minnick. In fact the old ford now has so much power; they had to reign in a few of those horses. "We had to turn it down so we didn't mess up the drive line in the tractor,” said Minnick. While the tractor isn't the first electric vehicle this class has built.it may be the most unique. "It is pretty cool, I have never seen anything like it," said Student, Josh Cline. While teachers like Clint Minnick help with the design, it is the students that do the fabricating and welding. Minnick says the project is helping students learn to innovate. "The students are learning that they can use modern technology themselves," said Minnick.
