1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    If it were worth it, commercial electric cars would be festooned with solar panels. They aren't. (I think there might be one EV that has a solar panel embedded in its roof, but it's just a gimmick.)

    In other words, no: the amount of range solar panels could add to a two-ton electric car with performance and comfort up to the standard expected of a modern car is basically negligible.

    Frankly, if you really want solar, you should be thinking more in terms of an electric bicycle towing a trailer with a solar panel on it. And even then you're still probably talking about merely extending range, not being able to travel all day without having to pedal.

    Thanks. In hindsight , It does make sense since 1m² at best can output 300w/h.
