It can be useful if you live out of the grid, like in the middle of Morocco dessert.

    Even if you're off grid, it's still better to put the panels and most of the battery on a house.

    You'll get much better yield because the panels can be pointed in exactly the right direction and won't be covered in road dust, plus there's far more space available.

    Putting a smaller, lighter battery in the vehicle is going to reduce its energy consumption, as is using a shape designed for low drag rather than a shape set up for optimal solar.
