Mounting a solar panel on a vehicle

Note that small solar panels won't provide enormous amounts of energy, but they can keep small electronics working, particularly if they keep a spare car battery topped up. A coworker uses a panel on his Nissan Xterra to run everything required to login into work from the desert when he gets paged on camping trips (assuming a cell signal is available).

Amazon searches for useful products:
"30 watt solar panel" - multiple small panels can be more flexible in mounting.  60 watts or more seems desirable. Check overall dimensions and allow space for mounting brackets.
"Solar panel controller" - required for most panels.  Match to power output.
"Solar panel vehicle mount" - a variety of fixed and adjustable mounts are available.

At the current state of the art, factory installed solar panels aren't worth their cost:
