Are your PV panels going to be placed on the car, or will you have them attached to a building and plug in? Either way, you will need an either DC battery banks or AC batteries and an inverter. Is the engine already built and set to run on electricity? And how light is this sucker?
This sounds like an interesting project, but the question is too general to answer correctly.

If you are speaking of having on-board solar generation, you may be out of luck. There isn’t enough surface area to generate enough power to run a car for very long. You would have to have the car in the sun for a long time just to run the car a mile or two.
