Motor vehicle roof with outside solar generator
First Claim
1. A solar generator for a motor vehicle roof, wherein said solar generator is adapted to be securely attached to the outside of said roof and wherein said generator is adapted to be adjusted between a first spatially compact configuration and a second, less spatially compact configuration in which a projection of the active solar surface of said generator onto said roof in said second configuration is larger than in said first configuration, said generator including an attachment element that extends in a lengthwise direction of said roof and wherein said attachment element attaches said generator to said roof in said second configuration, said attachment element supporting said solar generator for adjusted movement lengthwise of the roof between said first spatially compact configuration and said second, less spatially compact configuration.

Abstract
A motor vehicle roof with a solar generator which is securely attached on the outside on the solid roof skin for producing solar current for the vehicle. The solar generator can be adjusted between a first spatially compact configuration and a second, less spatially compact configuration in which its active solar surface projected onto the plane of the roof is larger than in the first configuration. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle roof with an attachment element which runs in the lengthwise direction of the roof and which is mounted externally on the solid roof skin and which is made such that a mobile flat solar generator can be pushed into the attachment element and is held in the working configuration by it to produce solar current.
