More details on Toyota's solar-powered Prius
We applaud any carmaker that harnesses the power of technology, particularly if it helps fuel economy, makes driving fun, or makes us look cool. That's why we launched the U.K. version of Car Tech.
So our ears perked up when we heard Toyota is upgrading its Prius. Not only will it feature a hybrid electric-gasoline engine and automatic self-parking (see its robot skills in action here), but it will soon get solar panels on the roof to power its air-conditioning system.

It would seem like a sensible thing to do for any hybrid or electric vehicle.

Absolutely. And I think the solar cells would look pretty neat on my TCH....could be placed on the hood, roof, and trunk and would look great against the black paint.

... Now, if someone would only make a moonroof replacement so you could do it and still look 'stock'.
...I like being stealth!
