Cost effective solar power to address the demands for car energy sources
The world is getting warmer and warmer: why not use the sun's heat? Solar power has been one of the most promising options for energy saving and modern green living. We heavily relied on the sun for much of our lives and so why not fully utilize its power using solar energy? Before, the technology to implement solar power was deemed as impractical and non reliable. However, in the last few years, we have seen a great deal of improvement in the solar panel market and nowadays, more and more people are implementing solar panels at home. With the cheaper cost of implementing solar panels, the automotive industry might be seeing a new future with the help of the sun. Why is solar power always rising as a top choice for energy alternatives?
Solar power is considered a clean, long lasting and effective source of power. Throughout the decades when it has been first introduced, a lot of innovations led to the creation of more effective, cost efficient and reliable innovations have been shown. It still cannot be fully realized in certain countries where poverty is very much a big concern but for industrialized nations, the idea of implementing solar technology has a big future. With millions of cars roaming around the US, implementing solar energy on half of the cars would mean a massive amount of CO2 reductions. Nowadays, the demand for solar power is truly rising and if the car manufacturers can harness the power of the sun to make cars even more energy efficient and Eco-friendly, then there is a brighter, and possibly, less warmer future for the world. With the demand rising, the cost of solar panels will surely drop. A lot of studies and concept car designs have already been introduced showing the opportunities for car manufacturers to develop economically viable cars. Concept cars can be a bit out there in terms of design, but the possibilities of offsetting some of the functions of the car to solar energy can be truly remarkable. Imagine if your air conditioning or the interior functions of your car are solar powered and the fuel solely is used on the engine, then there is significant improvements on how the car can use energy. It may still take some time before cars can truly be implemented with solar powered engines but the future is definitely bright for those who dare.
With the US suburbia and metropolitan areas taking advantage of solar innovations and with the support of the government, giving them tax breaks and other benefits, it is very promising how solar power can be implemented to the greater part of the continental United States. While the sun still shines, there is a big hope that automobiles will get more advantage of the heat of the sun and minimize the reliance of people to fuels. While we find more potent fuel options, solar energy is showing real promise to the world by creating truly innovative solutions for the world to enjoy.
