Guide Review
Complete Build-It-Yourself Solar Car Kit
The Klutz "Solar Car" book is also a complete build-it-yourself solar car kit! The book has very clear instructions and detailed illustrations making assembling the car easy.

Once you have your car assembled, you can try it out! Instructions are included for making your car work outdoors by sunlight and indoors with a battery. Have fun with your car. Make it go in circles, or try to beat the Klutz Solar Car X-treme Team's time in the 25 foot dash, the 50 yard dash, a circle marathon or the 25-circle marathon.

The remainder of the book is filled with fun and interesting information about solar power, how your solar car works and tips to turn your solar car into an award-winning science project.
