As solar power for homes continues to become more affordable and more popular, there are a great number of people who've begun applying solar power to things other than homes or buildings. For some individuals this means a completely new approach while others simply continue to build on and improve upon things that have been running on solar power for decades.
One of these things is the solar powered vehicle. When they were first introduced it and the public was first made aware of their existence, solar powered vehicles were not very efficient nor powerful. These days however with the improvement in solar technologies and the ability to both harness more energy and use it more effectively, solar powered vehicles are growing in both power and efficiency. The one drawback that scientists still face today is a limited area in which a solar powered vehicle can collect sunlight. On a car for example this will be on the top of the car and perhaps on one side or the other but these energy collection limitations are still a major roadblock for solar power experts.
Though there are hybrid cars available for purchase now the majority of these don't actually run on solar power but utilize electricity when they're not using traditional gasoline. In the future consumers can expect to see an explosion of solar powered vehicles that both collect and utilize captured sunlight efficiently.
