6 . A team of students, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, in the Netherlands has designed and built a powerful car that’s completely powered by the sun.
Students at Eindhoven University of Technology have been working on solar-powered (太阳能) cars for years. The car they’ve built is called Stella Terra, the first solar-powered car that can travel off-road for long distances. They designed the entire car. On top were the solar panels (电池板). Most solar panels are only about 20％ efficient. That means they waste about 80% of the sunlight they get. But the Stella Terra’s solar panels are 97% efficient. They waste far less sunlight than even the best solar panels you can buy.
Like most electric cars, the Stella Terra stores energy in a battery (电池). Thanks to its powerful solar panels and its battery, when it’s sunny, the car can run for 710 kilometers a day. Stella Terra has a top speed of 145 kph. The car weighs just 1,200 kilograms. That’s about two-thirds the weight of a typical car.
The team recently took the car on its biggest test-1,000-kilometer test drive across Morocco. The car had to travel through forests as well as dry river-beds. It had to drive across desert sand and up steep mountain areas. It succeeded in doing all of this-and all without ever stopping at a charging station.
The team is very proud of their car, but they won’t be upset if car companies start to copy their ideas. In fact, they hope that the Stella Terra will help inspire car companies to work on similar projects. But despite their success, the students think it will take 5 to 10 years before car companies are able to build a similar car and that it needs much money.
