Abstract

The objective of this paper is to explore the potential of using solar power to design an electric vehicle for use in Public Gardens and golf. The motivation for this study is the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. Electric vehicles have several advantages over traditional gasoline-powered cars, including quiet operation, zero emissions, and lower maintenance costs. By combining electric power with solar energy, the need for charging an electric vehicle can be reduced or eliminated altogether. The paper provides a summary of solar power technology and its application in automotive systems. The key components of a solar-powered electric car are also introduced, including the engine controller and the mechanical structure of the chassis. The electrical and mechanical systems are described in detail, and the connection between the two is explained. The experimental and theoretical work to design a solar-powered electric vehicle is presented, and an analysis of vehicle performance at different conditions is included. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential benefits of using solar power to power electric vehicles and the need for further research in this area.
