what are solar cars?

A solar car is a car powered by electricity rather than fuel, which operates on the solar energy obtained from the solar panels on its surface.
Solar panels are usually located on the roof of vehic. . .
A solar car is a car powered by electricity rather than fuel, which operates on the solar energy obtained from the solar panels on its surface.
Solar panels usually appear on the roof of a car.
For obvious reasons, this type of vehicle is not yet fully functional.
In order to run, it needs to take advantage of the power of the sun.
Without sunlight, the vehicle operates on a backup power supply stored in the battery.
Photovoltaic cells convert the energy of the sun into electricity for running vehicles.
That\'s why solar cars are limited by the energy input from the sun, which is their main energy source.
This type of vehicle is usually made to participate in the solar car race.
Just like a typical car, the solar car provides enough space for the driver, although there are some designs that include the space for the navigator.
It does have several features similar to that of an ordinary car, such as an accelerator, a brake, a rearview mirror on the camera, and ventilation.
It will also have a radio for the driver to communicate with his support staff.
Probably the most important component of a solar car is its electrical system.
The electrical system controls all power coming in and out of the car.
It doesn\'t have a gas tank, but its battery is basically one.
The battery stores the energy generated by the photovoltaic cells.
There are a variety of batteries to choose from, but the most common one is lead batteries
Nickel acid battery
CD battery (NiCd), nickel-
Metal hydrogen batteries (NiMH)
Lithium polymer battery and lithium-ion batteries.
Most solar cars have instruments that monitor the entire electrical system.
Things that people pay attention to include battery voltage and current.
The mechanical design of a solar car prioritizes keeping friction and weight to a minimum while maintaining sufficient strength so that it does not break up.
For good strength, these vehicles are usually made of titanium and similar compositesto-weight ratio.
The number of commercial hybrid vehicles using solar energy is limited.
Toyota Prius is said to be able to generate up to 240 watts of electricity from its solar cells.
On a sunny day this led to a 15 km drive.
A practical application of the solar car is to use its technology for golf carts, which are light in weight and are mainly used during the day and usually parked in the sun.
When cars roam the streets using renewable energy such as solar energy, our future will be bright.
