120W, so on a sunny day if you stop in the morning by the evening you might have 5 km of added range. On a cloudy day or in the winter, the added weight and drag just reduces range.

Only if the car is home during the day; otherwise you need a home battery and that further increases cost. And in Alberta, whose electricity system hasn't been sabotaged in the name of green ideology (at least yet), grid electricity is so cheap that solar with net-metering will never pay back, let alone solar+battery.
