Thats how it's supposed to work. There's a Peltier cooler up under the dash somewhere (the sort of thing you get in an electric coolbox) and the solar juice powers the panel and a fan to blow the cool(er) air into the interior. Works well on my car too.
Only thing Audi should have done was have a switch to allow two settings - one for normal cooling and one to redirect the charge to the battery, for when you leave the car for long periods without using it.

It is on mine. I don't think there's any cooling going on though, just the fans running.

I replaced the rear wiper arm (and both the fronts) with the newer and better Aero style and because this is designed to park on the R/H side (it looks upside down if its parked on the L/H) I also modified the rear wiper motor to park on the R/H..
