First we saw solar panels on the roofs on campers. That must have been in the early 1980s.
Such panels helped to fill the service batteries for the fridge and the lights. It saves you to run the engine while on a beautiful and silent camping spot
In these days, only a fool could think that it would be enough to drive a car with it.
But, fools inspire!
Already in 1987 the World Solar Challenge started: the challenge was to cross Austalia on solar power only. Who is the fastest?
Every race, Dutch technology students work on a better car and often the Dutch win.Now, we see already solar panels mounted on the roofs of electric cars.And there is progression, because soon there came an integrated design.Toyota has put the integrated design on the Prius.Here is the first design of the Lightyear. The future of solar driven cars is pretty close.Again it is the students who take the challenge and here they are working on the first sully solar driven family car.
So, also in times of bad politics,we can remain optimistic. Because when the will stays, people continue to improve, to innovate. No worries.
