I am building a solar powered car, I know the technology for the most part but my question is: Where can I find the solar panels that I will need & what voltage/ wattage panels will I need?
first make the car
second measure how many Watts it needs
you get 1 Watt for 55 square inch of solar panel, just do the maths
here are some examples and suggestions

Size of car? Weight? Speed? Aerodynamic coefficient?
Distance to travel? Time of travel?
Location of runs (how much sun)? Time of year? or solaration (sun energy for location and time)?
Motor design and power usage?
You have a lot of questions to answer before yours can even be considered.
