A tandem three wheeler like the Greenspeed. Low the the ground and good aero.
First dam off the front with a good fairing then build a frame work to support
the panels. At this point if it is stiff enough to resist the wind, ala the
Elf,one might think about some sort of under cover and doors. The doors might
be hard Lawrence Rhodes..

You can be pretty tricky to build it on a budget. Dave Cloud, Cedric
Lynch, and Jerry Dycus have all built examples of very efficient
vehicles on tiny budgets. They may look a bit funky, but it's a
prototype! :-)

Tandem? A 3-wheeler?

Have you thought about how to keep the PV panels from acting like a sail
and tipping it over? A friend of mine built a PV recumbent trike, and
had problems with wind.
