Ryan, Did you say the Prius solar panels are 2 to 5 Kilowatts? am I missing something here? The collection of solar panels on my house are 3 Kilowatts and way too big to put on a car.ThanksJohn C. Briggs
OK, it looks like these are NOT 2-5 KW solar panels.

"The Nikkei reports that Toyota Motor Corp plans to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of the next-generation Prius to supply part of the 2-5 kW needed to power vehicle auxiliaries, such as the air conditioning system."
The vehicle requires 2-5 KW to run the electrical system. The solar panels might only be 0.2KW.
These web based news sites seem to get the details wrong.ThanksJohn C. Briggs
