You made the local news last night in Denver Colorado. There were aerial shots and the comment that you had not spent any money on gas.

I saw your most innovative car today...very impressive...to reduce the solar footprint is it possible to use a solar concentrator unit?

@ paul niedermann
we use normal monocrystalline silicon solarcells from Q-cells, hole array is about 850W peak output.
The solartaxi uses about 8kWh/100km
If we would produce 100000 solartaxis it would cost abut 8000 dollar, but it was never intended for mass production, it is just a prototype, a showpiece.
@ paul matthews
there are new thin film solar cells with a much shorter energy-payback
