Abstract:
This review discusses the development of the application of solar cells in electric cars. Electric cars work with the basic principle of driving the dynamo with an electric current that is stored with batteries. Solar cells in electric cars are applied to charge the batteries contained in electric car batteries. Car manufacturers are competing to produce and design a variety of hybrid cars to meet the need for renewable energy. The technology developed at this time is to maximize solar cells in electric cars. This technology also allows increasing the mileage of electric cars that use solar cells. The solar cells developed also try to be combined in the structure of the electric car framework. One of them is implementing transparent solar cells to replace electric car glass. Solar cells used in electric cars try to harvest the electrical energy from the sun as much as possible.
