The artificial leaf, a very interesting way to solve the energy problem of the world.

Incident sunlight on a car is too diffuse a source to provide useful range while driving. The best that even very efficient solar panels could offer an EV is temperature control while parked, but even then only if you're parked in full sunlight, preferably at low latitudes or angled just so.

The capital cost of any solar collector is best deployed on stationary structures that are always in sunlight.

That was awesome. Thanks for the link.
