Solar cars are electric cars that use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electrical power to charge the car's battery and to power the car's electric motors. Solar cars have been designed for solar car races and for public use.
Through the integration of photovoltaic cells within solar panels, sunlight is efficiently converted into electrical energy, serving as the primary power source for the vehicle. This electricity powers an electric motor, converting it into mechanical power to drive the car forward.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry examines a solar-powered car built by members of the Tomodachi Initiative youth engagement program in Tokyo, Japan, on 14 April 2013. Solar cars are electric cars that use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electrical power to charge the car's battery and to power the car's electric motors.
A prototype car and trailer has been built called Solar Taxi. According to the website, it is capable of 100 km/day using 6 m 2 of standard crystalline silicon cells. Electricity is stored using a nickel/salt battery. A stationary system such as a rooftop solar panel, however, can be used to charge conventional electric vehicles.
Breakthroughs in energy storage technologies will enable longer journeys and further drive the adoption of EVs. In conclusion, the synergy between solar energy and electric vehicles offers a compelling solution for sustainable transportation. The benefits include reduced emissions, energy independence, and cost savings.
The Solar Electric Vehicle system was designed and engineered as an easy to install (2 to 3 hours) integrated accessory system with a custom molded low profile solar module, supplemental battery pack and charge controlling system. Some of the students that built Stella Lux founded a company, Lightyear, to commercialize this technology.
