Fisker Automotive is taking preorders for their electric sports-car in California. The automotive company has started running ads for the Karma on LA TV stations. The car looks really exotic with it’s solar panel on the top of the roof of the car.

The Fisker Karma will offer the option to purchase a full-length solar roof that will help charge the car and provide cooling for the interior cabin while the car is parked. Additionally, the car maker will offer consumers an option to purchase a set of solar panels for their roofs or garages where they can generate electricity during the day to charge the car overnight.
