Abstract
A Solar Car that is safer and far more ecologically benign than any automobile on the road today. All of its solar panels would serve a secondary purpose besides providing power. As a thin vehicle whose chasis was no wider than forty five inches, it would need an electrical system less than ninety seven volts. Connected in series, the four or five solar panels contemplated in this patent would provide most of the power. To make sure that one could use their vehicle regularly, there would also be a supplemental plug in capacity.
