• The Fisker Karma is doing the same thing by adding solar panels to their roof. I believe it is an optional feature that is primarily used for keeping the car cool (running low A/C) while the car is parked.
  
  I think it is fairly clear that the solar panels will not be entirely powering the car, but what is the downside in taking advantage of every extra source of power possible? It is also helpful for technological advancement to keep trying these new technologies in new ways. This is similar to the regenerative-braking power these cars are also starting to use. What is the downside? In reply to: "Yet more rumors of a solar Prius"
