Unless you park it for a few weeks between uses, solar cells don't come
close to providing enough power to make it a viable charging option.

So you charge it at night from the solar panels?

Or perhaps you charge batteries in the house on good weather days, and
then transfer to your car at night?

This is pretty green?

How many good weather days will it take to drive to work once?
