Best Answer

The solar powered cars highly assist in keeping the environments clean since these cars take energy from the sun that acts as a fuel. The solar cars works by using hundreds of thousands of photovoltaic cells in order to transform the sun light into electricity. The photovoltaic cells are situated at the surface of the car for capturing the UV rays of the sun. The solar cells or photovoltaic cells captures the sunlight and transforms it to electricity. The usual or the average speed of this sort of car is reported as much as 37 mph.

They are currently not street legal and would have a range of only a few hundred feet in any usable configuration.
