Solar Energy

ItemImage

"Solar energy technologies use sunlight to produce heat and electricity. Electricity produced by solar energy through photovoltaic technologies can be used in conventional electric vehicles. Using solar energy directly to power vehicles has been investigated primarily for competition and demonstration vehicles. Solar vehicles are not available to the general public, and are not currently being considered by OEMs for production. However, solar vehicles have been developed and used in several competitions including the American Solar Challenge and the World Solar Challenge." - www.afdc.doe.gov

Solar Energy would be an ideal energy source, however efforts to develop it for mass consumption have been very disappointing. Harnessing the suns energy is not really feasible economically or technologically. It is very costly to replicate, hence why less than one percent of the US households are powered by this source of energy, but nonetheless there is some promise here in the long term.
