Thread: How the solar energy does is stored in a battery?

Hi,
How the solar battery does charged using solar panels? What is the mechanism that converts solar energy in to electrical energy? How can a car be run on solar energy? What could be its maximum speed?
Thanks in advance

The mechanism used to convert solar energy is called a photovoltaic cell.
Solar cells are built of a mostly silicon compound, which leaves some atoms with loose electrons. These electrons are knocked free by the energy of the sun and, if attached to a circuit, will charge the battery like any AC charger.
A car can be run very simply :) Just use an electric car, with batteries being charged by a solar panel on the roof or at a filling port (similar to a gas station).
The fastest solar car I know of is the Nuna 2 (105 mph)
