I call BS.

Any solar cell mounted on a roof of a car is going to be much more expensive and less efficient than a cell that can be mounted on a roof of a house.

Want to put a solar cell? Why not put it on your house instead? You can put as much of the cell as you can without the downsides of having it on your car. It will work for you even when you have your car parked in a garage.

With inclined roof the cell is going to be much more efficient than a car roof cell that has to be level.

Has anyone thought about parking the car in shade or garages? Now you have to park in a sunny place for a small increase in efficiency.

Here in eastern/northern Europe, the maximum values are normally unattainable throughout the year (at least here in Europe).

And no, the solar on a car is not going to prevent you from having to charge it, you still need to charge it, just a little less so it will not eliminate you having to have some place to charge it and fiddling with cables and chargers.
