    Introduction
    Solar cars depend on pv cells to convert sunlight into
    electricity.
    When sunlight striker pv cells , they excite electrons and
    allow them to flow , creating the electric current .
    Pv cells are made of semiconductor materials.
    What is the solar car ?
    A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered by a type of
    renewable energy ,by solar energy obtained from solar
    panels on the surface of the vehicle
    Solar cells
    A solar cells converts solar energy to electrical energy.
    The most solar cells function by the photovoltaic effect .
    photo means light and voltaic means electric current or
    electricity.
    Power:- 200 Watt.
    Voltage:- 24 Volt.
    Current:- 8 Amp .
    Dimensions:- 2.5 feet to 5 feet.
    Working principle of solar cell
    When sunlight falls on the pv cell ,it absorbs the energy
    from photons and free the electrons from the semi-
    conductor .
    Photons in sunlight provide the energy that moves electron
    from one layer of a semi conducting metallic wafer to
    another.
    The movement of the electrons creates a current .
    A flow of electron takes place which produces an
    electricity
    Solar Array
    The array is made up of many (often several hundred)
    photovoltaic solar cells.
    It collects the direct sun radiation and converts to
    electricity.
    The power produced by the solar array varies depending on
    the weather, and the sun position.
    Power trackers
    Power trackers condition the electricity coming from the
    solar array to maximize the power and deliver it either to
    the batteries for storage or to the motor controller.
    When the solar array is charging the batteries ,the power
    trackers help to protect the batteries for being damaged by
    overcharging .
    Electric motor
    An electric motor is a device using electric energy to
    produce mechanical energy.
    An electric motor (Dc motor) is the basic and the most
    important part of a solar car . It is used to drive the wheel.
    The specifications of the motor are:-
    Power: 6500 W
    Speed: 2000 rpm
    Voltage: 24V
    Current: 100 Amps
    Battery
    After the power tracker convert the energy to the energy
    that is usable for the car, it send to the battery then the
    battery store the energy .
    This energy is send to the motor and controller to make the
    car run.
    Lead acid Battery is used in solar car . Lead- acid batteries
    are rechargeable battery . its low manufacturing cost .
    Voltage:- 24 volt Dc
    Current:-45 Amp
    Speed controller
    The purpose of a motor speed controller is to take a signal
    representing the demanded speed , and to drive a motor at
    that speed.
    Mechanism
    Advantages
    Reduced pollution .
    Reduced energy cost.
    Produce less noise .
    Unlimited source .
    Disadvantages
    High initial cost .
    Lesser speed than regular car .
    Less efficient in cloudy weather.
    What will happen if there is no sunlight ?
    If there is no sunlight ,the emergency batteries will be used
    . Example in the situation that there was a large cloud cover
    the sky , this emergency batteries will be used.
    Applications
    It can be used places where ,fuel based vehicles are banned
    due to production of pollution and noise.
    In industry where small vehicles are used to perform light
    weight conveys work from one place to other place .
    Conclusion
    Solar car would be an amazing advancement in future car
    technology .
    They would allow free and pollution less travel with
    unlimited accessibility.
