Solar Car also is the product from green technology. By using the solar car ,it can reduce the pollution gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Solar Powered Cars are the cars that run on energy from the sun. The Solar cars need the PV cells(photovoltaic cell) to convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cells can excite electrons and allow them to flow, creating an electrical current. PV cells are made of semiconductor materials such as silicon and alloys of indium and nitrogen. At first the solar cars are built for the purpose of solar car races. Nowadays some company had already built the solar car that can use just like our car.
Solar energy are renewable resource and in our country Malaysia we can the sunlight whole year this mean we have the enough sunlight to charge the cars. Besides that, by using the solar energy it also can reduce the sound pollution. The panels of solar energy work silently so it can reduce the noise pollution already on the road.
The future of solar cars are bright. This is due to the increase of fuel price and the limited of fuel. Someday in the future the fuel can be use up. Solar car can be the main car in the future.
Example of solar cars

| Toyato's third generation Prius |
The car have an optional solar panel on its roof. The new thing about this car is that the panel will power a ventilation system that can cool the car without help from the engine. When the car parked on sunny,hot days. The driver can start the fan remotely before the go into the car. Once the car started, the air condition won't need so much energy to cooling the car.

| Blue car |
The blue car is a fully-electric vehicle that comes with solar panels on the rooftop. It comes with the regenerative brakes and a Lithium Metal Polymer batteries which has a range of 155 miles per charge. Besides that, all the materials in the car have been sourced to be as environmentally friendly.

| The 2010 Mercedes-Smart Car |
The designer had put the solar panels on the roof as the car's batteries and the car egg-shaped doors is to allow easy access for four passengers.

the concept cars u mention up there are interested. it's good to see that the global are promoting the green technology and hope it really change the world by reducing the pollution.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Wee Yao say. But is it hard for this kind of car run in 4 season country?
ReplyDeleteIn 4 season country, maybe they can create a car that can get the power supply in two way like can charge battery and also can use solar energy.
