How can I design a solar car?

Hello. I have an idea that I would like to share with the world. A solar car size as a golf cart golf, but the protection of a car. It seems pretty cool, but how can I use design software, it? I have a Mac, while Mac programs friendly.

Solar energy directly? It is not good economics, even if it is possible. See project description for a Sunstang complete one. But before you rush to understand that sunstang was involved in an accident that killed the operator. A truck from caused a wind that caught Sunstang across the road and into the path of another vehicle. It was to be built so light that it would not control himself well in any cross wind or vortex. Solar panels mounted on a car will be charged up the battery, and be useless until you use that power in place. If these solar panels on your house, they could provide power to the optimum daily. You sell the surplus to the grid, and the acquisition of the power grid to recharge your batteries. You can now plan a car heavy enough to be safe on the road because you can have more solar panels on the house (or garage roof) you can find space on a car. Use the keyword Sunstang google for the project.
