The panel would need to detach as it would get no sunlight when you read in the daytime. So you might as well get 2 to 4 off Solar charged 10,000 mAH power banks. They can also be charged from the vehicle or a mains USB charger.

I thought of making such a cover but bought separate solar charged power banks. Two models in local shops, easier to return and get the legally mandated 1year warranty the retailer has to fulfill. Online sellers are also responsible, but getting them to agree is hard. The law where the sale is delivered to is what counts. Business to Business sales are not covered.
