Since I'm a day behind in the digest that somebody else has already pointed 
this out but...
Theres no way you could carry enough solar cells on any kind of a practical car 
to do any amount of 
solar assist.
That solar car that made all the news was really like a flatbed truck (a very 
light flatbed truck) covered with
cells. Theres just not enough energy in today's PV cells to make it worth it.

Rapeseed is the predecessor name fro Canola oil.

The solution is an amalgam of synergistic technologies - photovoltainc 
solar
assist cells on the roof of the car, in combination with the 
aforementioned
biodiesel-electric hybrid motor.

I think the question is does the SRS system monitor the state of the  
pre-tensioners
and tell if you if they are faulty/disconnected. Or is it just two  
wires, power and ground to fire them?

Likely the SRS computer  fires them with the air bags if it knows the  
seat belt is being used.
