      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.
