Weight is extremely important in automotive applications, and I see no info on how this compares to the weight of conventional auto glass.
Most “solar on cars” doesn’t get past the gimmick stage because of unfavorable power to weight ratio.
False comparison. Smart phones are volume constrained, cars are weight constrained.
sure, the 6 ton object is "weight constrained"
Go read up on CAFE regulations and then tell me weight doesn’t matter.
