Not an expert here by any stretch of imagination, but just read somewhere that there is a current development in making solar panels terraced like that of the CD to pack and technically expand the surface absorbing the sun's race. And then the foldable solar panels with higher energy density.
But what I'm sure of, money and resources are pouring on research and development in solar energy and battery technology.
So theoretically, one might be able to jamb, say, 1000sf of solar panels atop a 200sf roof area (nevermind the other largely prohibitive real world issues I mentioned earlier). And be able to "fill the tank" on a 3 day weekend trip.
How many Honda 2ks and gallons of 87 octane would that buy?
I love new technology too, but some of y'all need to quit sniffing the unicorn farts...As imaginary as they may be, you must be getting a serious buzz off of them!
