A solar-powered vehicle interior temperature management system includes a flexible sun blocking textile configured for mounting on a vehicle's interior windshield surface, with integrated photovoltaic panels on its outward-facing surface. The system includes a spring roller mounting mechanism at the windshield's upper edge and fasteners at the lower edge for dashboard attachment. An enclosure mounted adjacent to the spring roller houses rechargeable batteries and squirrel cage fans. The photovoltaic panels collect solar energy and charge the batteries through a charge controller. When activated via a power switch, the fans create air movement to cool the vehicle interior. The entire system mounts on the interior side of the windshield, protecting components from weather and vandalism while requiring no permanent vehicle modifications. The flexible textile construction allows the system to be rolled for storage when not in use, while maintaining solar charging capability during deployment.
