Since the car stands still most of the day, some kind of system that folds out into multiple solar panels may be interesting, offering shade as well
That may be awful for urban scenarios such as parking lots
It could unfold front to back, covering the hood and the trunk, taking up no more space than the car itself.
Or like that umbrella solar system. Or even adaptable to available space. Obviously works best when camping
