In the article "All You Need to Know about Solar-Powered Cars" Vyas (2019) shared insights about the development of solar cars. The article discussed the features of Sion, an electric vehicle that charges itself utilizing sun-powered energy (Vyas, 2019). The solar panel utilizes photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity (Vyas, 2019). The author further elaborated that the "photons of sunlight strike the photovoltaic cells and excite the electrons. This allows an electron flow that creates an electric current in the process. This electrical current is then used as a “fuel” to run the vehicle" (Vyas, 2019, para. 8).  During the manufacturing of Sion, it uses one hundred percent renewable energy. Furthermore, along with SonoMotor's unique maintenance system, it keeps the repair costs to the minimum (SonoMotors, n.d). With these unique features, Sion stands out amongst...

The article "All You Need to Know about Solar-Powered Cars" (2019, November 1) introduces the function of a solar panel and the pros when combined with cars. The article stated that "Many automobile companies are working towards making solar cars, and they are changing the automotive industry" (Vyas, 2019, para. 1). These solar cars "use photovoltaic cells to convert energy from sunlight into electricity" (Vyas, 2019, para. 2). The author further elaborates that the "photons of sunlight strike the photovoltaic cells and excite the electrons. This allows an electron flow that creates an electric current in the process. This electrical current is then used as a “fuel” to run the vehicle" (Vyas, 2019, para. 8). Such solar cars "can store some solar energy and can also run smoothly at night or in the absence of direct sunlight" (Vyas, 2019, para. 2). Few advantages that Vyas (2019) implied is that firstly, it does not cause ecological conta...

The article "All You Need to Know about Solar-Powered Cars" (2019, November 1) introduces the function of a solar panel and the pros when it is paired with cars. Sunlight based controlled vehicles have gone to the cutting edge as it is beneficial to the environment. The article stated that "Many automobile companies are working towards making solar cars, and they are changing the automotive industry". These solar cars "use photovoltaic cells to convert energy from sunlight into electricity". Vyas also further elaborates that the "photons of sunlight strike the photovoltaic cells and excite the electrons. This allows an electron flow that creates an electric current in the process.
