I would love to see your design to put over your recumbent trike. My wife
and I both have Catrike recumbent trikes. They currently have Bionx
electric motors on the rear wheels.

Well, the Stella Lux and Stella Vie appear to be practical solar powered
cars but they are extremely lightweight and highly aerodynamic.

One can look it up online. Arizona gets about 7, Maryland gets about 4.
And that includes the annual weather factor. So 1kw array delivers about
4 kWh per day (average) in Maryland.

You should keep in mind that you only get about three hours of "good" PV
energy per day.

I think I've mentioned that an Ultravan from the 60's weights about the same as
a Nissan Leaf. Putting the Leaf drive train in the Ultravan would be a good
retro mod. With a 3kw solar array it would charge in 10 hours of sun. However
it might not be the freeway runner the Leaf is at 22 feet
