The Quiet Achiever, also known as the BP Solar Trek, was the world's first practical long-distance solar-powered car powered entirely by photovoltaic solar cells.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First Solar Cars )〕 In December 1982, the Australian-made, British Petroleum (BP)-sponsored car performed the first manned transcontinental journey using only solar power, traversing Australia from west to east.〔Anzovin, Steven (2000). ''Famous First Facts''. H.W. Wilson Company. ISBN 0-8242-0958-3. p. 186. "The first transcontinental trip by a solar-powered vehicle was completed by Hans Tholstrup and Larry Perkins in the Solar Trek, a custom car powered by a 1 kilowatt photovoltaic array mounted on the hood, roof, and trunk. In 1982, the Solar Trek drove from Perth to Sydney, Australia, covering 2,500 miles (about 4,000 kilometers) in less than 20 days."〕 The project was promoted by Hans Tholstrup, and the car was developed by the car's driver Larry Perkins and his brother Garry.
==Description==
The Quiet Achiever was hand-built by Larry and Garry Perkins. The body skin was made of fiberglass, while the skeleton framework was constructed of steel tubing, similar to what might be used in lightweight aircraft. The car had a large curved frontal window for the driver to see through, and side windows of clear fiberglass. The vehicle had a photovoltaic power system rated at 1 kilowatt, which powered it to an average speed of .〔("More Key Steps in Photovoltaic History" ). Solar Energy – Green Lifestyle for You. 1 June 2008. Retrieved 21 July 2013.〕 The car's roof-mounted solar array consisted of two rows of ten 36-cell solar panels that were joined together, giving a total roof area of around .
