Maybe if you could use a mirrored tube skylight so you could park the Ford in a garage and still use the solar it would be nice.
I bought and set up a Tesla for a customer so he could reduce his carbon footprint. For what he spent I could have covered his houses in panels. The car was one of the original little sports cars that went 0 to 60 in OMG was that my kidney I left back there. ($160,000) Add then the charger and the electrician to install it and a new sub panel, convert the two electric water heaters to gas so that there was enough power available and then he had a car he could drive around town. He was going to have a charger put in the Aspen cabin but the car didn't have the range to get there.
The car is neat and very fast but to hit its range you had to drive like a little old lady and hope for a tail wind. Normal driving cut it a lot and showing the 0-60 abilities to a few friends really cut the range. About the time I left the household Tesla was having issues and was telling people that there were cars built and took money when they didn't have the parts to complete them. I hope they are doing better now.
