Solar Cell is,

A solar cell is an electrical device that converts the energy
of light directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.
( Crystalline solar cells produce an electrical potential of
around 0.5 volts.)

How the solar car can run?
-Providing electricity to motor from the solar cells
instead of batteries.
- The output of the solar cell is 1~4V, 0.6W.
- The required input to the motor is 1~6V, 10mA.
- Speed control with the pinion gear and running gear.
