A solar redirect system for a vehicle is disclosed. The system may include a light collection assembly disposed on an external surface of the vehicle and configured to receive light. The system also includes a solar panel module comprising a plurality of photovoltaic panels configured to convert the light into electrical energy for charging a battery of the vehicle. The system also includes an optical waveguide configured to direct the light from the light collection assembly to the solar panel module.
