Solar sunroof

[Leigh T6]

Is there such a thing out there as a solar sun roof? I really dont like the look of solar panels stuck on the roof of the van, and I would also like a sunroof, surely the photocells could be in the glass and it looks part of the van rather than an add on. 2 for price of 1 and would look really neat. Should be able to get 50w panel in a sunroof plenty for charging phones while camping.

No. Solar cells are not see through.

Maybe a mobile panel would suite your needs.

Mobile Solar Panels ? . . . - How I Did It - There is loads of background to this . . . . . but for now here is a vid for you all. =] Just remember W = V*A and as a general rule a good 100W panel will give you up to 6A charge with good sun. 25w = 1.5A 50W = 3A 100w = 6A 200w = 12A 300w = 18A...

Thank you for the reply @Dellmassive, I wouldn't need them to be see through as long as the sunroof opened and closed to allow air to pass through that would be ideal. But seen as google isn't returning anything other than Audi A8 solar sunroofs I presume there isn't one out there for transporters. The link is great btw that lensun kit seems awesome. Thank you.

Big Audi’s have had solar sunroof option for a long time, I think though used for cooling not charging.
