I heard about this car a few years ago from Hungary. The idea of putting solar panels built into the roof I think is a great idea that we will see more and more of over time as solar cells get more efficient. I expect to see the entire upward surface of cars becoming solar cells in the future, possible even including the sides of the car as well. With good batteries and literally almost every car generating electricity whenever it is driven or parked in the sun it would be theoretically possible for almost anyone with such a car to sell the excess electricity back into a grid and not only power their vehicle but also their home with the electricity generated in this way.
Solar Power Electric Car Coming in 2012

Introduction: Reducing vehicle weight can lower energy
consumption; however, it also leads to safety decline. In this case,
hybrid car might be the best choice for car owners nowadays. Antro
Electric Car Solo, developed by a Hungarian company, Antro, is a hybrid
car with Solar Energy.
Nowadays, solo-electric car repeatedly appears in newspaper,
which reflects the trend that green transportations are becoming more
and more popular. Nevertheless, many people design green transportations
and new models appear on Trade Shows,
while few of them are put into production. That’s because both solar
engine capacity and battery storage endurance are far from being equal
to that of fuel-powered small cars. What’s more, cost of solo-electric
car is much higher than fuel-powered ones.
Antro Electric Car Solo, with its unique panoramic sunroof power
system, seems to only be seen in the sci-fi movies. This car can be
powered in three ways: solar energy, hybrid engine, muscle-power. The
whole car roof is actually a solar Car Battery Charger.
When the car runs slowly and steadily, it can cover 25km merely
consuming solar energy. With the solar battery not working, this car can
be powered by hybrid engine with petrol or ethanol. In this case, the
fuel consumption per one hundred kilometer is 1.5L to 2.0L and the top
speed may reach 140km/h. Muscle-power doesn’t mean that one should move
the pedal in front of the car to power it. Instead, one should pedal to
propel the generator so that the car can maintain the motor-driven mode.
Apart from impressive fuel efficiency, this car also features its unique carbon fiber frame, and LED Headlights
can be added to make it a soup-up model. The car weights 270kg but can
take 300kg load. Antro designs a fuel-efficient three seater where the
driver is flanked on either side by a passenger. That design is the same
as McLaren F1. Antro is also trying to link two Antro Solo together to
form a six-seater, Antro Duo.
If Mayan prophecy(2012 is the end of the world) doesn’t come true,
Antro Solo is to be produced massively in 2012 and the price would be
12,000EURO(around 130,000RMB). By that time, the safety performance
would be well-developed.

By the way, in case it wasn't made clear to you, the pedals are for generating electricity rather than pedaling like a mechanical bicycle. So, when you pedal you generate the electricity to make the electric motor run which likely is much more efficient than a bicycle for a variety of reasons. This combined with the Solar Charge allows the vehicle to operate very efficiently. Also, it appears to also have a small gasoline engine if you get tired pedaling to generate electricity so the gasoline engine will also generate electricity for you if you wish to run the car. I think you will see a lot more vehicles like this in Europe because often the price of gas there is about $10 a gallon and has been for some time. I don't know what people would do here if the gas was that high in the U.S. But if it were $10 a gallon here that likely would mean it would be $15 to $20 a gallon in Europe.
