Six Things You Need To Know About Solar Powered Cars

In today’s world, it’s common knowledge that fossil fuels are a quickly diminishing resource, hence the importance of solar-powered cars. It’s only a matter of time before we will be forced to ditch the gas and petrol cars for renewable energy options.

Here are six things you ought to know about solar powered cars:

It can be driven at night

You might be wondering what happens on a rainy day, there is nothing to worry as solar cars essentially have a rechargeable power bank and will have the ability to store enough energy within its battery for you to drive your vehicle in such situations.

Little maintenance

Solar cars will need very little maintenance in comparison to its gas or petrol type. Since there aren’t any moving parts on solar panels, they simply need to be checked for dust and debris a few times a year. The battery and engine will be easier to handle as well, and the main thing that you need to focus on is simply monitoring the health of your battery. Skip the oil changes, fan belts, air filters, and spark plugs as well! A solar-powered car will be easy and pleasant to maintain.

Appears expensive

Solar cars are not  as affordable as some of their gas or petrol reliant buddies for a while due to the fact that the materials are usually more expensive.

Design limited due to energy

Due to the fact that solar panel design hasn’t reached the maximum level of energy conversion, solar cars must be designed to conserve as much of it as possible. Furthermore, the car would have to be slick, smooth, and relatively flat in order to make the panels as efficient as possible.

Option to charge electronically

The battery and panels available simply can’t soak up energy quick enough for certain circumstances that are bound to pop up. For example,  one  might be forced to drive extremely long distances at night, which simply can’t be achieved purely with sunlight just yet. Therefore, the solar cars under development currently will all have a charging option.

Weigh less than normal car

 Solar cars are designed to depend solely on the sun for energy, which means that they must be extremely efficient in using the sun to obtain power. Obviously, it takes much more energy to move a 4000-pound car than a lighter one, so all solar-powered vehicles must be designed to be light weight yet safe.
