I think the issue is that the vehicle has no more surface area for panels. It couldn't extend them out further as that would make the vehicle more likely to collide with others. It looks like the roof and sides are covered. I'm building a four wheel drive solar powered farming robot. We use four 800w panels, but on level ground it draws 40 watts at walking speed. I've heard there can be issues if one solar panel is in the shade and others are in the sun, but maybe that can be fixed with proper wiring. Anyway a few panels around the vehicle if properly wired could provide a real boost to the vehicle, even if its not gonna power it up hills for long. The really cool thing about solar vehicles is that in the daytime they are always ready to go. At least that's how our farm robot works. (link in my profile) |
