Solar powered ventilation system - Toyota Yaris Forums

rytis · 07-06-2010, 01:11 PM

Has anybody thought about running the vents on the Yaris with solar panels?
Similarly like what they did on the 2010 Prius, a solar powered ventilation system to keep the car cooler when it's parked on the sun.
The weather is getting really hot, and my Yaris is baking in the sun. It gets super hot inside, and such a system would bring the temperatures lower without having to leave the windows open.

Would someone know how the connections would need to be made, so that the solar panel would drive the fans when the car is parked, and, not interfere with other components and normal operation of the fans?

Thanks!
