Some more info in the Wikipedia article. And yes, this is about DC Solar, which I guess many americans will know but as someone from europe this was totally new to me.

    Your math is off, it shouldn’t be 3 measurements for area, you’re using cubic feet by accident. So off by a factor of one of your measurements.

      Factor of 8.5, since that’s the height of the vehicle. So 9-11kw. Enough to power a house if paired with batteries.

        That’s actually not too shabby, and you could easily triple the capacity with some hydraulic foldouts. I would worry about snow load with that myself, but I’m sure it could be made to be sturdy enough.
