This does not seem to be the way mine works. I've had my doors open for days (hooked up to a battery trickle charger) to dry things out after the sunroof drains and/or windshield cowl allowed water in. If I open or close any of the doors, even after hours with them open, the thing seems to wake up: relays can be heard, the puddle lights all light up, etc.If you don't fully latch one of the doors that you don't commonly use it will prevent the system from waking up if you open another door. Eventually the car goes to sleep even if that one door isn't fully latched.
Also there are hood mounted solar panels, lensun and Cascadia4x4 to name two.
So yes, it eventually goes to sleep, but I think the goal here is to stop it from waking everything all the time?
