Auto: World’s Ugliest Car Gets Unsurprisingly High Gas Mileage
The design of this newly marketed solar car may not be so appealing or powerful looking, but it can acquire high gas mileage and be better for the environment.

Note to automakers: cars of the future are meant to be fierce. Sure, they may get the equivalent of 100mpg through electric efficiency, but they’d better look like they can decapitate onlookers during the morning commute…
Then again, any car capable of 44mph speeds for three hours at a time—that runs on nothing but the sun—has our ears perked.

Designed for the streets of Taiwan, the car uses a airplane-grade Nomex honeycomb body that makes it just 550lbs with seats. The light weight brings efficiency, so much so, in fact, that the developers claim that the car just needs a few hours of sunlight to recharge its batteries for another 3 hours of driving. But we’ll admit it—with a solar panel that tiny on top of the car, we can’t help but be a little skeptical about that figure.

Then again, for its groundbreakingly low $24,600 price tag, we’ll be willing to give it a chance over this more expensive, equally hideous alternative.

The Freiburg Estate is a solar village where there are solar panels on roofs. Many people take guided tours to view the economical helpful homes.

“Freiburg is the warmest city in Germany. Solar technology made in Germany is a world leader. Solar modules installed on roofs have been around for decades…
But what’s interesting for the people who live here is that once they own a solar plant, their additional costs go down. In fact, they can even make money.”

Boffins warm to super-efficient solar cells - Hardware - www.itnews.com.au

Itnews reports about ‘nano flakes’, a newly discovered material could improve the transformation of solar energy to electricity.

If researcher Martin Aagesen’s future solar cells meet early expectations, the economy and the environment will benefit from the research which could make solar power generation viable for ordinary households…

Aagesen pointed out that less than one per cent of the world’s electricity comes from the Sun because it is difficult to transform solar energy to electricity.

But he believes his discovery may be a “huge step” towards boosting the exploitation of solar energy.
