When many people hear solar cell they give you the deer in the headlights look. To keep it simple consider the solar cell calculators that came out in the 1980’s. No battery simply powered by light. This is the dream and soon the reality of what could be powering your next family sedan.

Solar cell powered vehicles are making their way to us in the near future. With companies such as Honda making great strides in solar cell testing we may all be using solar cell energy by the year 2030. Not only our vehicles but also our homes our business and so on will be powered by the sun. The Honda FCX clarity is not solar powered at this time but it is a zero emissions vehicle.

In the early 1980’s inventors dabbled with solar power vehicle creations and raced them annually for fun. From this time to now companies such as Honda have made a fuel cell vehicle that is zero emission. No fumes or gasses to be expelled into the air.

The Honda FCX clarity only expels water. This was a dream in 1986 and has been released in California the year 2008 as a reality. With this project completed and soon to become widespread the next task is to create a solar cell vehicle.

Chances are that you either have a set or know someone who does when it comes to solar lighting. There are over 300 solar powered products available from a single site on the Internet. You may be surprised to hear that there are lamp posts, road signs, highway traffic signs, fountains, chargers and more that are all powered by the suns energy.

No fumes or fuels or other non-renewable energy sources to use up. No pollutions are entering the air from these items. And on top of the health benefits the cost of electricity goes down because the power of the sun is free. There are government offices that have installed solar panels atop of their buildings.
