Solar
cars transfer solar energy to electricity, which are environmental friendly. Moreover,
solar energy is a kind of renewable energy, it can reduce greenhouse gas
emission and need lower cost.
However,
despite it has several advantages, some shortcomings exist as well. Transfer efficiency
between solar and electricity is one of the main problems. Due to instability of
solar energy, it is difficult to gather solar energy so that cost is high,
therefore, it cannot be widely used.
In
addition to characteristic of solar energy, solar cars use aerospace materials
which are very expensive, technology and application of materials cannot meet
the demand of enough power, also solar cars have low weight capacity and low
speed. These drawbacks would be barriers to popularize solar cars. However,
people should research this kind of vehicle because solar energy is clean and
sustainable, it is helpful for some suburb where there are no electricity. Pictures below show solar cars, they are still be researched, hope one day, I can drive this kind of car.
