The use of solar panels has become widespread and you can drive around the country and see solar panel fields that capture the energy of the sun, transform it into electric energy, and send it to homes around the country. These fields are large, expansive, and covered with hundreds of solar panels that capture this energy. Unfortunately, cars are small, comparatively, and a solar panel on the roof is only a fraction of the size of what one of these fields or even one row of the solar panels offer in size. Hyundai and Kia are now developing a way to use solar power charging to fuel some of their top models including the Optima and Sonata.
