Compared to the conventional auto driven by heat engine, the solar powered auto has an obvious characteristic of true zero discharge. Because of the environmental protection characteristic, solar powered auto is advocated in many countries. Fig .1 solar powered auto 1. The history and current situation of solar powered auto. The early solar powered autos are made in Mexico, which look like three-wheel motorcycle. And there is solar cells shed on its roof, which supply electrical energy to automobile under the sunlight, making the car speed of 40 km per. This kind of autos just contains 40 minutes electricity per day so it can not go far away. Danish adven- turer and environmentalist Han Sisi designed and built the first solar powered auto named “quiet arrivals”. In September 1984, the ‘sun’ was successfully developed in China, and drove into qinzheng palace in Beijing Zhongnanhai. This also shows that our country has reached world advanced level in the development of new types of auto. Nowadays many countries in the world are developing this kind of auto, and take part in competition. For example, world solar rally competition held in Australia in November 1987 draws 25 solar powered autos from seven countries participating in this competition. In this contest, ‘San Leahy Lufthansa’ of the American won the first prize with a result in 44hours 54 minutes. China’ solar powered career started late, the most solar powered auto development work is carried out by the institution and research institutes. In China’s State Intellectual Property Office and solar-related patents, a large part of patents are related to solar water heaters, few of them directly associated with the solar powered auto. In general, there
