2. I ntroduction T o Solar-Powered Cars

3. Overview What is a Solar-Powered Car? A vehicle powered by energy harnessed from the sun using solar panels. • Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, stored in batteries to power the car.

4. How Solar Panels Work Photovoltaic Effect: • Solar panels are made of photovoltaic (PV) cells. • PV cells convert sunlight into electricity. Basic Components of PV Cells: • Silicon, semiconductors, electrons movement, etc.

5. Components of a Solar-Powered Car • Solar Panels • Electric Motor • Battery (Energy Storage) • Power Controller

6. How Solar-Powered Cars Work 1. Solar panels collect sunlight. 2. Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity. 3. The electricity powers the electric motor or charges the battery. 4. The motor drives the wheels.

7. Advantages of Solar-Powered Cars • Eco-Friendly: Zero emissions, clean energy source. • Renewable Energy: Sunlight is free and abundant. • Reduced Fuel Costs: No need for gasoline or diesel. • Lower Carbon Footprint: Helps combat climate change.

8. Challenges Facing Solar Cars • Limited Sunlight: Efficiency drops in cloudy weather or nighttime. • Energy Storage: Batteries need to be highly efficient and lightweight. • Solar Panel Efficiency: Current solar panels aren't 100% efficient. • Cost: Solar technology can be expensive.

9. Applications and Current Trends • Solar-Powered Concept Cars: Examples like the Lightyear One, Sono Sion, etc. • Solar Charging Stations: Emerging infrastructure for charging electric vehicles using solar energy. • Research & Development: Advances in battery technology and solar efficiency.

10. Future of Solar-Powered Cars • Innovations in Solar Technology: Advancements in PV cell efficiency. • Hybrid Systems: Combining solar power with traditional or electric power for better range. • Mass Adoption Potential: As costs decrease, solar cars could become more common.

11. Conclusion • Solar-powered cars harness clean, renewable energy. • Despite challenges, they have great potential to reduce emissions and contribute to sustainable transportation. • Continued innovation will drive the future of solar transportation.
