    I have a foldable 100 watt portable panel that can go on the hood if I am parked. Would not permanently mount one there. Options for sun exposure are limited. If I want the vehicle in the shade the panel can be relocated for maximum exposure.

    winter tires when I live where it snows a lot but also plan to go to the desert?
