According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for solar power generation is provided. The embodiment may include identifying relative positions of co-located electric autonomous vehicles (EAVs) within a group. The embodiment may include identifying solar power generation metrics for each EAV. The embodiment may include determining whether at least two EAVs have a same side unexposed to direct sunlight. In response to determining at least two EAVs have a same side unexposed to direct sunlight, the embodiment may include identifying a direction and an angle of solar light impacting the group. Based on the relative positions and the direction and angle of solar light, the embodiment may include instructing a collaborative movement among the group such that solar light is reflected from an exterior surface of at least one EAV to an exterior surface of at least one other EAV which was unexposed to sunlight.
