I teach physics in Texas and we are doing the same thing with a small grant. Our attempt is to convert a golf cart into a solar car. We would love to share info with ya’ll.
Victoria if you go to facebook ”Bremond Solar Pit Crew” group you’ll find information, pics, and video of our project progress.
what can be further advancement in solar car?can it wireless operated,if yes,then please let me know the technology behind it.
this is a really cool site, I really love it!
i like the green apple
i really want ppl 2 start buying solar power cars. if cars ran by fuel aren’t made illegal in the next 1 1/2 years i don’t know wut the point in trying is! i don’t usuallt get worked up about these things but i happen to like penguins! obvioiusly the drivers of fuel powered cars dont!!!
These things are cool. Wish I, a normal person, could actually afford one though.
Responses to Alyssa
Does anyone know if there was one traveling across the country and would have been in Pittsburgh/Bridgeville area?
Solar power cars ARE dope
ah,what tha hell…are you insane,plz i need someone to reply on that.
I’m a lot about speed in a car but I guess that helping the environment is good too huh?
These cars are beast.
hey!!! LOVE THE SITE!!!!
why is there a bald headed guy on the coment blog?
This is pretty cute teehee
Who would buy a solar car in todays economy, they really are ineffiecent, most of these cars a sporty, or ”alien-like” cars that really couldnt provide the proper transportation needed in the everyday life of the average person.
I love what you are doing here. Not only are these cars helpful for the environment but they will save everyone lots of MONEY! No longer will I be a slave to the pump.
Keep up the great work
What’s wrong with buying a huge gas guzzler? I have 4 gas guzzlers and proud of them!
That is amazing!
I really wanna own one`
haha
I think this is really amazing too. And am off to read some more!
bagarrrghhhhhh car sun equal solar car
As an environmentalist, I like this site and the information therein. Keep it up, the more voices raised the closer we will get to our goal of zero emissions with regard to our modes of transportation.
solar car is a necessity for future world
Responses to kim rehman
I agree with you Kim, solar energy doesn’t pollute the air, this is the main thing what we want.
I want to use solar power to motorize an adult tricycle and a trailer for it. Anybody know where I can get ”thin film photovoltaic material”? wendell.archer@gmail.com
these are good ideas but are they doing the planet good?
Does anyone know the cost of one of these?
doing the Planet good? uh…probably. Is it possible to make a completely solar powered RV? I would love one.
It’s so cool how you put the cars together and make them run!
yo is it possible to upgrade your VAN with some solar panels, seriously, not for fueling up, but just to have some electricity stored so I can have some light in the back of my VAN and I could plug in my laptop for 5 hours per day, so i dun have to pay loads of cash to live in dorms and i could buy a cheap VAN and sleep in it. try to lower my cost while studying.
to build serious electric cars the electric motor needs revamping and costomizing for the new solar concept, many criteria of fossil fuel cars need to be thrown out and totally new concepts employed that’ where Angstromega units arrive a total global transportation interface that corresponds with Kyoto protocol and a green earth. A managed system at 650km/h intercity and upto 300km/h urban transport all feed by solar and wind generated power
I have 800 cc petrol car and i want this car run on solar plates as solar car. If anybody can help me how to make it possible then please do mail me.
thanks

Responses to DDR
ddr i am afraid thats not a practically viable option .u can peobably get few extra miles in hybrid configuration(cost ) . other wise close to reality tranformation would require loosing considerable body weight .conversion from conventional to electrical gadgets . its better and cost effective that u design ur own car .light ,aero dynamically configured ,get air power assistance as well . take care . if u wish and possess requisite knowledge we can think of a joint project
Dear Sir,
I m trader from Pakistan,trading solar power system since 2008 ….I am intrested to get knowledge of Solar Cars/motor bikes and wants to introduce it in Pakistan first time…I hope it would get a good scope in future here too…

Responses to mohammad Aqib
aqib aoa i dont think that only solar powered cars or scooters are commercially available . experimental are very expensive . electric power driven scooter are successful in china and even i have driven it my self . but chinese have placed charger everywhere & they are making electric cars as well .
