Abstract: A rack-integrated cylindrical cell solar power assembly is provided. The assembly includes at least one cylindrical solar cell that is configured to generate solar power and is further configured to provide the solar power to an electrical component of a vehicle via an electrical connection, rein the solar power includes sunlight converted into electrical energy. The assembly further includes a rack shaped to attach to the at least one cylindrical solar cell and to a sunlight-exposed surface of the vehicle.

Abstract: A solar power assembly is provided. The assembly includes means for nonplanar generation of solar power, wherein the solar power comprises sunlight converted into electrical energy; means for transmission of the solar power to a means for storage of electrical energy in a vehicle; and means for attachment of the means for nonplanar generation of solar power to a sunlight-exposed surface the vehicle. The assembly is capable of capturing sunlight from multiple angles and producing solar power for the vehicle's use.
