> 3) The roof top combined with domestic battery side is potentially significant in replacing (full or part?) domestic power companies

A model s has a footprint of about 4m^2. In ideal conditions that would net you maybe 800W during daylight hours... 6.4kWh over the day. That would give you around 30 miles of driving range. Solar on personal vehicles will never be anything more than a gimmick.

It's about solar on the roof of your house, not the roof of a Tesla car.
