Solar Powered Car: A solar panel vehicle generally describes any vehicle with solar cells integrated into its design, known as a solar Electric Vehicle. Solar-powered vehicles are electric vehicles that use photovoltaic cells to convert energy from sunlight into electricity. How Solar Panels Work on Cars: These vehicles can store solar energy in batteries to run smoothly at night or without direct sunlight. If used on a large scale, solar-powered vehicles not only help with environmental pollution but also noise pollution. Advantages of Solar Car: “The benefit of solar-powered vehicles is that they don’t require fuel and have a low maintenance cost. The solar roof will capture sunlight continually whether the car is moving or stationary and can run longer on the same battery. This requires fewer charging stops and will get you faster from point A to point B. Solar energy will never run out, and it is free. The first and foremost reason is the solar panel itself. Our current commercially operated solar panels have only around 20 to 35% efficiency. Hence, we would need much extra space for solar cells to power a solar car. But doing so invokes two other problems — weight and cost. Working Principle of Solar Powered Car: Solar panels contain photovoltaic (PV) cells. These PV cells take light, or photons, and convert it to solar electricity. PV cells produce direct current (DC) electricity when sunlight hits the solar panel. The electricity from this process is converted to the standard voltage by a controller, then stored in the battery. --- Time Stamp -- 00:00 - Introduction 01:42 - Cars with Solar Panel 02:20 - First Solar Car 02:54 - Advantages of Solar Car 03:43 - Disadvantages of Solar-Powered Cars 06:34 - Working Principle 09:01 - Solar-Powered Cars 13:40 - Outro All images used in this video are under a creative commons license.
