Putting solar on moving vehicles makes no sense except for very specific use cases.
Install those same panels on the ground and you can point them at a good angle for sunlight capture 24/7, don't have to literally carry the weight of them everywhere, don't have to worry about them getting dirty all the time from moving around winter roads, and are much easier to repair.
I'm not a solarogist, but how do you capture sunlight 24/7?
Oops 🙊 you know what I mean though.
bet on moonshine
It's Sweden, it works weird
Put solar panels on a vehical and move it around the globe xD
Put the panels on a plane that flies above the cloud and chases the sun around the earth. And then use all the captured energy to power… the plane?
Solar panels on one side, lunar panels on the other! Boom! Free electricity 24/7!
