Solar-powered vehicle interior temperature management system

A method of managing vehicle interior temperature comprising:

• mounting a spring roller adjacent to an upper edge of a vehicle windshield;
• deploying a flexible sun blocking textile from said spring roller;
• securing a lower edge of said flexible sun blocking textile to a vehicle dashboard using at least one fastener;
• collecting solar energy via photovoltaic panels mounted on said flexible sun blocking textile;
• storing electrical energy in at least one rechargeable battery;
• and
• powering at least one fan using said stored electrical energy to create air movement within said vehicle interior.

A vehicle sunshade system comprising:

• a flexible textile body having an outward-facing surface and an inward-facing surface;
• a plurality of flexible photovoltaic panels integrated into said outward-facing surface in a pattern that allows for both efficient solar energy collection and flexibility for rolling;
• an enclosure mounted at an upper edge of said flexible textile body;
• at least one rechargeable battery housed within said enclosure;
• a plurality of ventilation fans housed within said enclosure and configured to generate an airflow pattern that creates a thermal barrier between said flexible textile body and a vehicle windshield;
• a charge controller housed within said enclosure and electrically connected between said photovoltaic panels and said rechargeable battery;
• and
• a roll-up mechanism integrated within said enclosure that allows said flexible textile body to be rolled up for storage and unrolled for deployment;
• wherein said system is configured to be entirely mounted on an interior surface of the vehicle windshield and operates independently of the vehicle's electrical system.
