I saw this and though it was kind of cool. They should cover the whole bus in small solar panel instead of those HUGE panels. This idea should be used more.

It'd be important to clarify that the TC2000 is not actually solar powered. Not to my knowledge anyways. The bus itself is probably diesel, and the way the seller describes it, the solar panels are used to supply other things with power. He listed sound systems, houses, etc. Blue Bird did make (well, offer) electric TC2000s for a while but I'm pretty sure this isn't one of them.

Yeah, this bus is not driven on solar power-

I don't think the bus runs (drives) on solar power. That is probably to power electronics like they said for that summer festival they went to.
