solar-powered car
Photovoltaic-driven automobile
A solar-powered car runs on electricity generated by photovoltaic cells, typically mounted on the vehicle's surface.
Most are experimental or competition vehicles—practical models remain limited by the energy density solar panels can capture.
The term sometimes includes plug-in electric cars charged by home solar systems: We charge our solar-powered car from rooftop panels.
