1. How does it work?
> Solar panel (DC) -> MPPT (DC) -> Small 1kwh Battery (DC) -> Power Unit (AC) -> Rivian charging adapter -> Into car
2. What is the efficiency loss?
> For Beta2 so far it has been minimal. I haven't formally tested it, but it is the same loss as when you install the roof rack. I get about 320 watt / mile.
I don't get anything near 320w/m - even in full-on winter weather, so I have no idea if that is considered normal.
