For those that just can't get green enough, here comes a new accessory that will make your Prius even more deadly . The SEV Solar Roof Module is essentially that. What makes this vehicular solar panel a bit better than the average bear is the fact that it installs seamlessly onto the Toyota Prius roof. The entire roof-panel is replaced with these solar cells and can provide 20 miles of electric range as well as upward of 29-percent increased fuel efficiency. This module is capable of fitting 2004 through 2006 Prius models. Watch out, deaf kids! [ SEV via TFRJ ]

It's not often you hear about Wyoming around these parts, but a company from the Cowboy State is looking to make solar panels the next hip and useful car accessory. The company is developing solar cells a couple inches thick and as big as three feet by four feet to be mounted atop your vehicle to supply power to a variety of in-car system--and more! The roof-mounted solar panels could also be used to jump the car, which could be a big convenience. Although that's ironic, isn't it? Using sustainable solar energy to jump or fix an old beater car that won't even run on the evil menace known as petroleum? [ Automotive ]

Hell, you just bought that hybrid , why not go all out turning yourself into a green-bean with solar powered-driveway lights? You don't have worry about crushing these suckers, either, unlike some other solar driveway-lighting solutions on the market. The lights are capable of withstanding the weight of a vehicle, which is always convenient when dealing with a teenage driver who can never seem to back out of a driveway straight. Each light sells for a hefty $25 and could last almost forever thanks to the virtually indestructible construction. LED lighting is also used, which takes a while to burn out. Think about it: Even if we doom ourselves and our species through global warming or something, visitors from other galaxies will at least be able to find our driveways at night.
