According the Reuters, Toyota will add Solar panels to its high-end Prius. Thanks to a partnership with Kyocera (which will produce the solar panels), these panels will be mainly be used to generate power for the air conditioning.

We have yet to hear any official comments on this from Toyota, but if they put this plan into motion it will be a motor industry first.

Certainly not the first - certainly many have shown solar panels on show cars. The first application like this I remember was in the 80's when SAAB had a car that would run the AC fans to cool the car in a hot parking lot.
