Or, manage your power. The refrigerator is only running at about 50% duty

to run everything at once.
The cost of 18% solar cells has gone down 100 to 1 in my lifetime to
$0.35/W.
The cost of 36% cells (space industry) has gone up to $350/W.
So the cost to double the power on a car roof multiplies the cost by
x1000.

Its a 2 kW converter and it is assumed the car draws 500W. So the answer
is around 1500W continuous, thought you can draw many kW for brief periods
if your wires and your inverter can handle it.
DATA POINT: At an EV demo yesterday I ran a demo yesterdy of 40 light

It is rated at 2 kW. But someone said the system draws 1000W just sitting

But I don't believe that. I think it might be more like 500W leaving you

Inefficent yes, but hooking up 2 wires is a lot easier than building one out
of copper, plywood, glass and paint. With solar panels costing only 25
cents per watt (on a good deal) then the investment in 4 panels (800W) is
about $275 and totally maintenance free. Where as cobbling together one
