It also adds a lot of weight at the top so the centre of gravity is raised. Solar panels are for houses, not cars. Maybe in fifty years...
Since you keep repeating this in the face of evidence to the contrary I will repeat what Swedish said, thin film solar panels are not heavy. At some point you'll grasp this fact, hopefully.
Regarding the cost of the panel on the Karma, just because Fisker ripped people off with their pricing it has little relation to what can be done.
To summarize, solar panels are not heavy, they are not as expensive as the Karma panels, and they have the potential to do more than just charge the 12V battery. They would also provide more real world value than a pano roof, but could be made transparent, so you could potentially have both.
