The invention relates to the field of drone design, in particular to a solar drone. The solar drone comprises a front wing, a rear wing, power systems, an energy system, task load pods and the like, wherein the front wing and the rear wing are connected with each other through a left drone body and a right drone body; and the power systems, the energy system and the task load pods are disposed on the drone bodies. The solar drone has the advantages that the drone adopts a serial-wing double-drone-body layout, front wing stress features are improved favorably, and structural weight is reduced; a lifting layout is used, all lifting faces provide positive lifting force, the pneumatic efficiency of the pneumatic layout can be increased, and high lifting force and high lift-drag ratio are achieved easily; a full-motion operating face is used, the area of the lifting faces where solar cells can be laid is maximized, and a large amount of energy conversion is achieved; and further, the front wing is not provided with the operating face, influence on structural design can be eliminated, and structural weight is reduced.
