There’s a big demand for sustainable vehicles these days, and electric cars have another contender in the quest to produce the most environmentally friendly ride.
Solar-powered cars use technology that converts sunlight into usable energy. This free power source is a clear advantage for people who live in regions where electric vehicle charging infrastructure is underdeveloped.
Solar-powered cars are defined as electric vehicles that are powered fully or partly by direct solar energy. The batteries in EVs can store solar power which is obtained through a variety of photovoltaic cells that convert solar radiation into usable electric power. These cells get their name from sunlight (photons) and electricity (voltage) and are grouped into panels to produce small or large amounts of energy.
