A solar electric wrap/skin?

[lukefrisbee]

Come on. I know it won't be super efficient, but somebody IS going to do it....
With the talk about how easy it will be to wrap the Cyber, and all the recent and near future breakthroughs in making films and paints be able to make electricity from the Sun... And with the heart of the "looks" of the Cyber being functional.....
It seems almost logical that The Big Ee would offer an optional "Solar Skin",

I am thinking something like the window films they are creating that can produce solar energy...and this film won't need to be see-through.
All those angles and all that surface area should put some measurable energy in the batteries.

Proud graduate of ASU. I always admired our Solar Vehicle Team. One of the best in the nation. Although I no longer live in NC, nice to see a fellow tarheel on here (or mountaineer i should say)!
