The Solar Power Car - An Idea For The Future
By Tony Hartmann
Today the whole planet is held for ransom by the greed and indiscriminate use of non-renewable fuel and energy. It does not matter whether we speak of water, wood, electricity, minerals, animals, you name it – man has exploited every one to near exhaustion. A drastic change is needed in human behavior today if we want to save this wonderful planet for posterity.
The Solar Power Car – A Dream Come True
Crude oil being one of the most critically endangered non-renewable energy sources at present, kick-started many research projects which are seeking workable solutions to this problem. The solar power car is one such solution which may have the answer to the dwindling resource for a seamless transfer of technology.
The solar panels that are used in the car, unlike in the past are much more reasonable in cost today, though not exactly affordable. Comparing the costs we had about some 7-8 years back, today’s solar panels are easier on the pocket. It will, of course, still need to come down

KCC Report: Cost Effective Solar Power in the Heartland
KCC Energy Programs Manager said the objective was to demonstrate that solar cells are a viable source of energy for powering many different types of electrical devices.
if we are talking about a mass-appeal product.
Why solar power, you may ask? Solar power is one of the most available and easily within-the-reach as a source of energy for human society. The sun is indeed a form of renewable energy that could last forever, and utilized properly, could provide free energy for everyone in a few years down the track.
The solar power car in this context, is exactly what is needed – since the fuel costs are rising steadily and the crude oil sources are diminishing day by day – one has to have some alternatives handy. The solar power car would answer to some burning needs of today. However, it is not clear whether such a car can be made commercially viable yet.
A few elite motor companies have already released prototypes of cars that run on electricity. They are made only for two – but they are exceptionally fuel efficient. The electric car is also known as the smart car and the general target customers are young women. This is because the vehicle is very small and achieves a maximum of 50 kms/hr speed, which would not appeal too much to men.
An advantage of focusing on women is that their finance (through women-only accounts) would be slightly easier than for men.
Today, the electric car can run some 70 plus kms for the cost of one liter of petrol - which is phenomenal. Can the solar power car better this record?
