Solar powered car project report.

Design project design and construction of a solar powered vehicle synopsis in this project you will design and construct a small solar powered vehicle to climb a ramp at the maximum possible speed. The solar car had a solar panel on the hood and on the roof. By solar car project you will experience the concept of solar energy and how it generates electric energy to start the engine. This project work is on the development of a solar powered car.

The chassis of the solar power car is made from a rectangular piece of cardboard cut to a slightly smaller length than the solar panel. In this project you will need creativity and experimentation to design and build a car powered by two solar cells and a small electric motor. We provide a unique opportunity for stanford students to gain valuable hands on engineering and business experience while raising community awareness of clean energy vehicles. Make your own solar car.

The citicar comprised of 432 cells creating 400 watts of peak power. It involves the design and fabrication of a solar powered car with a carrying capacity of two individuals and a maximum speed of 30 km hr which runs entirely on a stand alone solar system. At 12 volts the motor can run at 2 5 kw aprox 4 hp batteries the batteries mainly store the excess power from the solar panels to give backup for night hours use. Photos of a solar powered car made from parts ordered online.

Founded in 1989 the stanford solar car project is an entirely student run non profit organization fueled by its members p assion for environmentally sustainable technology. A car that runs on solar energy solar car are emerging these days addressing these issues. What is solar energy. Produce solar power and thus to the production of solar cars at a large scale the use of this modern vehicle will benefit us all.

The solar car used 8 batteries of 6 volts each to store the. Solar panels are powered by the energy from the sun known as solar energy usually when light rays from the sun hits an object the rays are become eat but certain materials cause light rays it to into electrical currents. How solar panels work. Individual constituent parts of prototype solar panels 85 watt bp solar panels placed on the roof and motor lynch motor which offers the best efficiency greater than 90 and has a weight of only 9 kgs.

Attached to the bottom of the cardboard chassis are two straws that will act as axles for four plastic wheels.
