How does a solar power ed car stop?

A solar-powered car does not rely solely on solar energy to stop. While solar panels may generate electricity to power certain systems within the car, such as the lights or entertainment unit, they do not directly control the braking mechanism. Solar-powered cars use traditional braking systems similar to other automobiles. These braking systems typically consist of hydraulic brakes operated by pressing the brake pedal, which engage brake pads against rotating discs or drums to slow down or stop the vehicle.
