Low sun shines straight in vertical window surfaces but (apparently, from initial reports) does not sufficiently illuminate the horizontal solar...
That's a bummer. The 5pm-6pm window is the vast majority of when I'd really want it to keep the car cool. I'm in no hurry to buy, though, so...
I think that's my only complaint. I don't really want the moonroof, either-- seems like it's just inviting future leaks.
Yeah... I'd love a "Package II with Solar Ventilation". I'd really, really like the ventilation system out here in the desert (if it proves to be...
Agreed. Sure, monocrystalline panels are more uniform (and efficient, and expensive)-- but I like the cool patterns in polycrystalline panels.
The big blue blotches are definitely just the polycrystalline panel. But it did appear that there were little air bubbles, too-- is there a...
The blotchy looking things *are* the solar panel. That's a textbook-normal polycrystalline solar panel. This image is straight out of the...
I'm in the Phoenix area, and ordered an IR thermometer a few days ago for use in trying different ways to reduce the heat transfer of our home's...
I've never had a sunroof, but if I did, I'd at least pop it open to relieve the mind-bending heat that builds up in your car in July here. I...
I'm as anxious to hear what you find out on this as I am to find out how useful the solar vent is in the AZ summer sun. Prior to moving to...
I'm with you. I was hopeful that things would improve-- my experience with the nav system in an '07 was terrible. It's a shame that they've got...
Has anybody seen any news on arizona's exemption for hybrids in the HOV lane? I know the pilot program maxed out at 10,000 participants a while...
Oddly, I would have thought the popular view was that exterior color didn't matter much at all. Guess it depends on who you ask. You mention,...
Any Phoenix-area car dealerships willing to let me put thermometers in a couple of different-colored but otherwise identical Priuses?...
Seems silly to have to do this, but here's the link to one guy's tests of black and white cars:...
Just stumbled on a link where somebody tests this out-- it appears that the worst-case difference (from a white car to a black car) is about 7.5...
That much is clear-- but I'd love to be able to quantify the difference. Common sense says the lighter car is cooler, but are we talking one...
I'm dying to hear the results of this. I've been lurking here for years, and usually right when I'm about to register to ask a question, somebody...
