	That is a really awesome idea. Does it take up all the space of the sun roof? Is it just wired directly to the battery?

	Big stick and fruit machine button horn push. Boso inspired. Lets play with some -13 8x13's with 165/55's.

	what fuel savings would you attribute to the solar panel, if it is measurable at all?

	Reduces the forse applied to the engine pulley, Therefore using less engine power than standard and Giving more power to the car to drive with. instead of reclaiming electricity through running the alternator

	Greo WROTE: "Reduces the forse applied to the engine pulley, Therefore using less engine power than standard and Giving more power to the car to drive with. instead of reclaiming electricity through running the alternator" the gains would be minimal though, probably a percentage of one bhp..or kw you would probably gain more power improving the aero dynamics of the micra?
