A good idea, to be sure, but we need to be realistic about this. That small group of solar panels almost certainly cannot supply a full charge of electricity to three cars. Certainly, they will assist in the recharge, and when no cars are charging, they will offset other grid power sources.
This set of panels, though, could be mounted anywhere else, at a better angle to the sun (trackers), hooked into the grid, and contribute with great er efficiency, than the way they are presented here.
This is, first and foremost, about the perception of “being green” – like a hybrid supercar that consumes as much clean energy as a bus. Clean? Sure. Green? Kinda.
Wonderful idea, hoping this can spread around the world to help with the Global Warming cause..
