Toyota To Use Solar Panels On Next-Gen Prius Hybrid

Toyota stated this week that they will be installing solar panels in their next-generation Prius hybrids. The solar panels will be placed on the roof of the cars and will be placed on some of the more high-end versions.
According to Toyota we can expect to see these newly redesigned Prius hybrids in the spring of 2009. The panels will give part of the 2 to 5 kilowatts that is needed to power the air conditioning. Kyocera will be supplying the panels to Toyota.
