The solar panel has to be about as big as a car. Those solar panels for cars, actually RVs, are only to compensate for the very slight slow self-discharge of a lead acid battery.
Do you use a regular bike on these routes? In my experience, an electric bike only helps do what you can already do. It allows you to go up hills easier for instance.
