Here’s a cool (ing!) solution for the car which stays in the parking lot for extended hours, under the heavy and scorching heat of the sun. Poor car, it isn’t lucky enough to tuck under a tree shade. So here’s an idea from Leon Zhu, who proposes to use a foldable film of solar cell that can actually cover up the car from top, giving it the shade it requires. Not only that, it also stores energy collected from the sun shining on the unfolded solar panel. Now that’s a double gain for the car!

The foldable solar panel has been designed to fit into the space provided in the rear wing, which will further help to deal with the stability of the car during its movement.
