The Future of Automotive Travel?

Solar energy is becoming more and more mainstream. Solar power is now used to heat and cool buildings, generate electricity, operate communication and navigation systems, and yes even to power solar cars.

Just as with all solar powered products solar energy cars get their energy to run from the sun. Hundreds of For more information on photovoltaic cells are in place in solar cars to convert sunlight into energy. Each of these solar cells produces about one-half volt of electricity.

Solar power gives power to the cars motor and charges a battery for use when the sun is hidden by a cloud. If the solar car puts all its energy towards driving and keeps nothing in reserve it will stop completely when sunlight is not available. If too much energy is diverted to the battery, the engine runs too slowly.

See yourself! The solar powered electric car...

As fossil fuel demands increase research continues to investigate solar energy as a major alternative energy source. While there are still many things to be worked out before solar energy cars are mainstream, the future looks bright for harnessing sun’s power to drive a vehicles. Solar power is pollution free and inexhaustible.

Currently a solar city car powered 100% by solar energy is not possible. Even so, there is the current technology to produce cars that can have ten to twenty percent of its energy provided by solar power. As technology progress the percentages will gradually increase until we will have a vehicle operating at one hundred percent solar power.

Solar collectors for solar car requirements are still too large for consumer cars. Solar cell development continues and currently it is feasible for power supply requirements such as heater and air-conditioning fans. Bit-by-bit the development continues.

Tricycle type vehicles have been produced that use only solar power. These Free Energy cars uses fold away solar panels and human power combined. Current model go up to 40 M.P.H. and 30 miles free everyday. As technology improves both speed and distance will improve.
