You are better off putting those solar panels on your home/apt roof where they can produce more power and not add to the weight of the car.

Right now? Houses sure, but I tried to get them in my last apartment, and the answer was “no” even though I owned my own flat. (Owning a flat != owning the building the flat is in).

But this is about what I expect soon-ish, and “soon-ish” both continues the cost decline of PV (including thin flexible panels that would make them suitable for more than just the Cybertruck), and also makes it likely that every roof suitable for PV will already have it (because exponential growth).
