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.
Thanks

OK, it looks like these are NOT 2-5 KW solar panels.

http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/07/report-toyota-t.html

"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.
Thanks
John C. Briggs
