Re: solar panel & car efficiency

Well to some degree. That's one reason to have hybrid cars. Imagine tring to drive across country in a extremely heavy overcast & at night!

Curtis73 is right, a diode would probably to the trick. Though it may possibly rely on the quality of parts also.

Did you try using solar panels while the car was running at all? That's why I wanna know. I mean charging the battery is always good, but I wanna take some load off gasoline.
