Can you purchase standard PV panels that will fit inside your vehicle? Take
them out at work with some framing made of PVC or similar that you can
easily slip together and set up, then take them down and put them back in
the car at the end of the day. Could make some clips so the panels clip
together and onto the frame. Kind of a hassle, but if it can be made so it
is a 5 minute job, not too bad.
This inspired a brainstorm. :-)
What if you connected with one of the outdoor advertising (billboard)
companies? They put up huge signs, high enough to be vandal-proof, and
strong enough to survive high winds.
Put up a "billboard" to advertise something (anything) that just happens
to include a PV panel. It could power the advertising sign, *and*
produce surplus power that you can use for charging. :-)
Maybe the company where you work would allow, or even encourage, or PAY
FOR a sign with their company name on it, with nice big lighted letters,
that includes a charging outlet for you.

better ones when the current ones burn out often enough to keep
you in business? -- Hunter Cressall
