The installation cost per watt in B.C. is $2.52 - $2.77, according to this website. It might cheap enough for car manufacturers to make it standard.
Like I said, it's something worth at least exploring. Toyota thinks it's worth trying out. |
I'm not denying it's interesting,
but if those levels of efficiency are possible (probably at much higher cost per watt), it would make far more sense to apply them to rooftops that are outdoors 24/7.
