ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USING SOLAR VEHICLE
CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1. INTRODUCTION ABOUT TOPIC
1
Direct solar energy is the main source of electricity for solar vehicles. To capture and
transfigure solar energy into electrical energy, photovoltaic cells ( PVC) are put on the vehicle.
The semiconductors, which are made of silicon and blends of indium, gallium, and nitrogen,
absorb light and also release it, creating an inflow of electrons that induce electricity. This
electricity charges the 12V battery connected to the semiconductors, which in turn powers the
DC Motor, which transmits power to the bus of the vehicle. In some configurations, the motor
can run solely on the electricity produced by solar cells. Autonomous robotic vehicles have
long employed solar power systems often. The Sojourner rover is one such illustration, which
generates a large portion of its energy using a smaller photovoltaic (PV) panel. The rover will
however cut back on consumption if there is little to no solar energy because its batteries can't
be replenished in a timely manner when they run out. In a space mission, the Mars Exploration
Rovers were the first devices to employ rechargeable batteries. Spirit and Opportunity did,
however, satisfy the demand for more operating flexibility by expanding the use of solar panels.
Solar panels for the next Exo Mars expedition will be created using this methodology. The
high-efficiency ultrathin film silicon cells in this rover allow it to produce more electricity back
on consumption if there is little to no solar energy because its batteries can't be replenished in
a timely manner when they run out. In a space mission, the Mars Exploration Rovers were the
first devices to employ rechargeable batteries. Spirit and Opportunity did, however, satisfy the
demand for more operating flexibility by expanding the use of solar panels. Solar panels for
the next Exo Mars expedition will be created using this methodology. The high-efficiency
ultrathin film silicon cells in this rover allow it to produce more electricity.
