Alternative energy - 2010 Solar Roof Prius will power air conditioner system

Toyota has announced that the next redesign of their highly successful hybrid Prius automobile will include solar panels on its roof. These panels will power the air conditioning system, allowing its operation without turning on the car's main engine. The system prevents the vehicle from heating up while parked, significantly decreasing the time it takes to cool the car once it's in operation again, and limiting the use of air conditioning that would otherwise be necessary to remove the heat gathered while parked.
