Background
Looking for more science projects on the Internet, I ran across ran across the Junior Solar Sprint Competition. I have been interested in alternative energy for a long time, so I decided I would build a solar powered model car.
EverythingHobby had two Tamiya solar panels and one motor. I purchased the motor and the ½ volt 1200 mah panel to start with thinking both panels were the same. I later purchased the other panel which was 1.5 volts 400 mah, this would be good for experimenting with trade-offs between voltage and amperage.
