I litre of petrol costs Rs 52.71 today

Solar power comes from the energy of our sun. The interior of the sun is a region of very high temperature and filled with dense gases. The sun’s core is estimated to be approximately 27 million degrees farenheit. Heat and light from the sun are produced through a process called nuclear fusion.

Sunlight is an excellent energy source and the future of using solar power is very exciting. Solar powered cars all get their fuel from the same place (the sun). The cars use hundreds of photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity. Each cell produces about one-half volt of electricity.

The most exciting part of using solar power as an energy source is that it is pollution free and inexhaustible. If research continues, one day solar energy may replace today’s combustion engine cars !
