Solar Powered Electric Vehicle

Abstract: This paper presents solar powered motor vehicle with the efficient charging system. This solar vehicle is used as one of the cardinal energy-saving vehicles where the application of renewable energy meets sustainable energy demand with reduction of fuel cost and purification of the atmosphere. The energy for the vehicle will be supplied by Solar panel (10W). For sufficient energy management, the charging system is used. The charging is independent of vehicle movements. When Solar panel will get sunlight, energy will be supplied to Charge controller. The battery which is connected to the charge controller will get charged via the energy received from the panel. The motor driver IC and the Bluetooth module will get power from the Arduino which gets power directly from the charge controller. Hence, the vehicle will move.
