A solar-powered car barely generates enough energy to move its thin shell and single passenger, let alone an economical load.
Thin-film solar depends so heavily on rare earth elemnts that it will never be able to scale up to replace other sources, or even displace conventional solar panels.
Renewable energy investors need to examine technologies that aren't subject to natural resource constraints, like solar thermal and geothermal.
