Many manufacturers are going into production or creating concepts with integrated solar panels in the roof or body of the car.

Although under normal use this will not provide all the vehicles power it will make a significant contribution when you factor in the decreasing cost of solar panels and the rising cost of fossil fuel.

Here are some examples:

and many more…

The Fisker Karma can already be ordered from the Fisker website – the first ones are scheduled for delivery in 2009.

The music theme is called ’sunshine’.

The wattage of the average car roof panel is around 250 watts. If you covered the entire car in solar film or panels you would get around 1000 watts or more.

Grab your sunscreen, because on this episode everything’s powered by the sun. We’ll meet “solar guru” Steve Heckeroth. Not only is his homestead 100% solar-powered, so are his vehicles. He designs and builds electric tractors, and he charges
them, along with his Toyota Rav4-EV, with free energy from the sun. We’ll also check in with the Stanford Solar Car Project team and their UV-powered car — Solstice. Covered with solar panels and stocked full of lithium ion batteries, this car looks like a UFO and can drive across the country without ever stopping to fill up!
