Please do your research before you criticize. If you have ever seen a tuk tuk, you would know that the top is a curved artificial leather covering stretched on a iron frame ( https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1ChvBPXXXXXbaXVXXq6xXFXXXo.jpg) . If you look at this tuk tuk, you can see the steel mounting frame for the solar panels instead of the usual artificial leather covering. So I am pretty sure that the did install the panels there as well. Also it seems quite simple to induce that being knowledgeable enough to operate a welding plant and hook up solar panels, he would know that the best place for the panels would be at the top. The only problem is that a tuk tuk has around 1.3mx1.7m space at the top. So obviously he needs another place to mount some more panels and the sides would be the next logical choice.
