Test of fairings on solar panels to reduce drag

Great work again. It would seem that the extra cost for good flex panels VHB taped to the roof of the van would pay for themselves many times in their lifetime.
 
When KOV begins to get 18-20 mpg he will have to set aside some lunch money. He really didn’t need me. All I did was to bring the doughnuts and hand up the panels one at a time. Besides I got him to assist in a washing machine rebuild that took several hours about a week ago. Of course he got lunch. BTW the nosing on the panels looks like it will help. It may be lowering the panels may negate some of the advantage. KOV keeps good mileage records so after a few months the effect should show.
