[ "What you should know about solar-powered cars?INTRODUCTIONThe new motoring in the automotive industry is electric cars, hybrid cars, solar cars. What are these cars and how different are they from the cars we use? Electrical cars have rechargeable electric batteries, which help the driving wheels to turn into electric motors inside the car. Hybrid automobiles are a combination of electric and petrol engines. The regenerative braking and internal combustion engines load the batteries in hybrid cars. The solar car is not the new automotive sector; solar car races were already established before the idea to market solar-powered cars came about. The World Solar Challenge began in 1983 and until today these competitions occur every two years in Australia. Since the 1980s, solar car racing has been around. 1990 saw the introduction of the American Solar Challenge, a U.S. solar race. In the solar sector the developments are profound and enormous, so let us learn more about solar-powered automobiles.Solar-powered cars are electric cars that convert electricity from solar power. For converting solar power into electricity, photovoltaic cells, which are part of the solar panel. They have semiconductors for absorbing and converting sunlight into electricity, in particular silicone. The battery then uses this converted form of electricity to run the car's engine. While the concept of solar-powered cars is impressive, the viability of solar cars is very questionable because solar energy is intermittent. Depending on the time of day, season and weather, how much solar energy can you store. Recent developments in solar-powered cars, however, have allowed car batteries to store long solar energy to run in the evening or in cloudy weather.PROSLess natural resource reliability: solar power is an unconventional energy source. Therefore, there is no need for fuel or oil modifications. Fossil fuels are not dependent.No dangerous air emissions: solar-powered automobiles ensure zero emissions. In the car, electric motors utilise electricity which is converted by sunlight and which is pollutant-free.No further concerns about the cost of fuel: solar cars don't need gas or diesel fuel. Therefore, no trouble with rising fuel prices.Comfort Driving: Smaller and smaller compact electrical motor designed for solar-powered cars. A comfortable drive is guaranteed because the car drives do not produce any vibrations or sounds. CONSInitial investments increased: production parts needed for solar-powered cars such as batteries, high-quality inverters, solar panels, etc. are costly. The initial production capital of a solar-powered car is therefore high. Technology and employee integration is a complex affair. Energy Storage: Solar-powered cars need direct sunlight so that solar energy can be converted to electricity by the photovoltaic cells of the solar panel. Although batteries can store solar power for some time, the use of these cars in the low sunlight regions for much of the year can be severely restricted.Costly components: solar-powered cars only run efficiently if their components are efficient. Solar-powered cars are expensive with batteries and solar panels.DEVELOPMENTS MADE IN THE FIELDIn recent years, the technology of solar panels has immensely developed. Efforts are made for cost reduction and for consumers to make it affordable. But travel is quite long and not easy for solar-powered cars. Although the potential seems to be convincing, several restrictions hinder solar-powered vehicle commercialization. Many research organisations, even if solar-powered cars are covered completely by solar panels (not only the car's roof), do not cover huge distances." ]
