Seems like it takes 15 or 20 hp to cruise along at about 60mph....
about 15KW. If you drive to work 1/2 hr and home 1/2 hr, you need 15KWH
of power, and probably need a battery bank of at least 30KWH. Thats a
dozen big old batteries. Problem is when you get home and need to hump
15KWH back in overnight. Thats 7 or 8 hrs pulling 2KW out of the wall
socket in the garage. Would cost about $2 in Florida. How far did we
drive? 60 miles? Thats about $.03 a mile. If I had a 40 mpg car and gas
was $2.85 a gal, I'd be driving for $.07 a mile. I'd like to put 4
panels on a tracker in the bed of a pickup. Park facing North at work,
tracker tracks East to West during the day for 5 or 6 hrs... could put
back several KWH used to get to work.... but not all......


IF such a thing as a net energy pv panel existed, your 4 panels might produce enough energy to run the power mirrors.

Provided you did not adjust them too often.
