Convert my Pontiac Fiero to Solar Power?

[dalbinator24]

I hate to use this as an example, but its the only way I can get people to see what I see. The Solar car from "The Naked Gun" movie So, Does anyone know of a place who will customize a car to have solar panels built into my car? I live in Phoenix, AZ so If anyone has any info on it at all it'd be appriciated(Where is the shop, Price, Total time to finish)

and what is the solar panel supposed to hook up to? electric motors? this has only been done experimentally because the technology is not economically feasible at this point. If it was there would be no need for hybrids or the coming electic battery powered cars like the Chevy Volt

There is a guy who made his electric. All you would need to do after converting to electric motors is to hook up some solar panels to the hood and decklid to keep the batteries charged.

There is not enough surface area on a typical vehicle to keep batteries charged for any rational amount of driving.

As was pointed out in an earlier response - if it was economically do-able, it would already have been done.
