I used a small solar panel about 1 foot square rather than the 6 inch by 9 inch ones and it worked (kept my car starting despite being parked up for days at a time).
without it in winter I was only doing short trips and all in the dark, so the battery wasn't getting properly topped up, meaning I kept needing the jump pack.

@BrianSmith950@mas.to @hollowman@fosstodon.org That's good to know. It would be useful to have a flexible membrane PV that can be stuck onto the roof or bonnet to do that. In terms of Solar PV on cars, I am liking where Aptera are going. https://youtu.be/3uzuW-YvBE0
