Most cars fueled by solar cells have the disadvantage that the storage media is limited.
As a result, eco-friendly cars is having problems also about the mileage that can be achieved. In addition, the weight of the car can also be affected. Therefore, power cars tend to weigh more sun light.
The Dutch team have created the world's first 'energy positive' car, which means it produces more energy than it uses. It can also seat a family of four. (Picture from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk)
In 2013 for the latest generation has been found to generation sunlight-fueled car. Especially for cars family car class. This car is named Stella. Seating capacity provided is quite spacious with 4 seats.
About the performance, Stella created by The Solar Team Eindhoven (STE) of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has double the capacity of previous generation solar car. In terms of the weight of the vehicle, Stella has only 380 kg. Made with the latest in lightweight materials, such as high grade aluminium and carbon fibre, the car weighs is 1,120 kg lighter than the average electrical car.
Using large solar panels that are placed on the roof of the car, 'Stella' can travel 250 miles without sunshine and on a sunny day, when fully charged, it can drive up to 420 miles. (Picture from: http://www.dailymail.co.uk)
In addition, this car is able to travel up to 250 miles or 402 km without sunlight. But when batrei is full, Stella can travel up to 676 miles. These results have shed their usual standard electric cars. In fact, before the in-charge though, the ability of this car is still superior.

Team Manager, Lex Hoefsloot, at Eindhoven University of Technology said, "The car is still expensive because it is a prototype and it is hand-made, but when the production is scaled up, the car could be just as affordable as a normal family car."
"The solar cells on the roof of the car cost £2,600 (approx U.S. $4,000 or Rp. 45 million). Our future designs will focus on making the car even more comfortable, practical and energy efficient, so in the end people have the feeling that they could buy a similar car at a dealership."
