You can buy Kapton for several uses, one is as a heatproof electrical insulator, another as tape to seal a flue. The maximum temperature is about 400 degreesC. That's quite hot.

Well I read up on the Japanese Cargo Vehicle. It does have solar cell panels to power one rechargeable battery. There are also two nonrechargeable batteries.
