solar losses due to heat build up are a concern of mine. in my testing, the current can nearly be cut in half due to thermal buildup. will the aptera have any kind of solar cooling to keep the current at maximum? In the vehicle design I have been working on, the plan was to use passive cooling by creating a small pocket of space between the solar and the actual roof, with a simple adjustable louver system at the front of the vehicle and a vent at the rear. thanks so much.

It's a good idea to use microchannel heat exchange to collect heat from the solar panels. But what is not clear is how this heat is dissipated.
