SOLAR CAR




WHAT IS A SOLAR CAR

A solar car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy obtained from solar panels on the car. Solar cars are not currently a practical form of transportation as they can only operate during the day and can only carry one or two passengers. However, they are raced in competitions such as the World Solar Challenge and the American Solar Challenge. These events are often sponsored by Government agencies such as the United States Department of Energy keen to promote the development of alternative energy technology such as solar cells. Such challenges are often entered by universities to develop their students engineering and technological skills as well as motor vehicle manufacturers


HISTORY

Solar cars were first built by universities and auto manufacturers. These early constructors soon realised that the sun energy collector areas were too large for consumer cars, however that is slowly changing. Development continues on solar cell design and car power supply requirements such as heaters or air-conditioning fans, which we take for granted on conventional IC cars.
