Now when solar energy is spreading its wings and the spring is not far away, the concern still remains that solar energy still lacks firm implication and reliability. Though when we talk about solar energy, first impression is so soothing but at the end what one comes to hear is that it’s expensive and still has far more loop holes to deal with. Lets take an example of this legendary Mazda MX-5 in this case, running completely on solar power( here is what I meant about first impression), going further, The team has removed the gas tank in lieu of an electric motor and battery.
Seven solar panels installed across the hood of the car, and this setup enables the vehicle to run at a top speed of 100km/h with a maximum range of 30km (look at the distance coverage, isn’t that disheartening?). Now let’s come to pricing, the price for the same stands at $21,000 (that’s called digging the final nail in the coffin). No matter we all now that fossil fuel will come to an end sooner or later, but the backup option (solar) is not doing a great amount of justice to help the cause.
