It's a neat gimmick, but I still say the solar panels belong on the roof of the
house, not the vehicle. Better efficiencies all the way 'round, much more
cost-effective, and excess generation capacity doesn't go to waste.
For s special-purpose vehicle out in the middle of nowhere (or even on the
surface of Mars), it makes sense to carry around the solar panels. Everywhere
else...fix the panels to the ground where they're optimally positioned and make
use of every watt-hour they generate.
Generally agree, but it seems solar on the car is sufficient for his
specific needs AND more convenient.
Consider that he said: “I have used the bus to go back and forth from
school, commute to work on a daily basis—the panels provide enough
energy to the batteries I never have to plug in."
If he doesn't have to drive fast or far, I can see how his approach
makes sense. Even in the middle of somewhere. :^)
