The simplest answer is that it has been done, but adding solar panels to the roof of a car would add about 3 miles a day in ideal conditions.

Exactly. I did the math on this in another post and under ideal conditions, solar panels on a car would - over the course of an entire day - produce the same amount of charge as two minutes on a conventional charging station. Under normal conditions, that would be closer to one minute.

They just don't produce enough charge to make it worthwhile.
