It's a detailed, short, compact ppt on solar vehicle . This will be yours one stop solution on your topic .

1. SOLAR VEHICLES
The Future of transports….
By ABINASH SAHOO

2. WHAT IS SOLAR VEHICLES
• A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy obtained from solar
panels on the surface of the vehicle .

3. COMPONENTS
• Solar Array
• Power Trackers
• Batteries
• Motor Controller
• Motor

4. HOW IT WORKS
Solar Array
Power
Tracker
Batteries
Motor

Motor
Wheel

5. SOLAR ARRAY
● A set of solar panel is known as SOLAR
ARRAY .
● It collects the energy from sun and
converts it into usable electrical energy .

6. HOW SOLAR ARRAY
WORKS
● Solar panels are usually made from silicon,
or another semiconductor material installed in
a metal panel frame with a glass casing.
● When this material is exposed to photons of
sunlight it releases electrons and produces an
electric charge.

7. POWER TRACKERS
● POWER TRACKERS convert the solar array
voltage to the system voltage .

8. POWER TRACKERS
ROLE
● In this step the power tracker in the
vehicle receive the energy from the solar
array .
● After receiving energy it converts energy
into suitable operating voltage for vehicle
and then sends it to battery .
Power Tracker
Batteries

9. BATTERIES
● The BATTERIES (eg. NiMH, NiCd, Lithium ion &
Lithium polymer) store energy from the power tracker
and makes them available for the motor's use.
● They operates in a range of 80 to 170 volts

10. MOTOR CONTROLLER
● The motor controller adjusts the amount of
energy that flows to the motor to correspond to
the throttle.
● The motor uses that energy to drive the wheels

11. MOTOR
● An electric MOTOR is the basic and
the most important part of a solar
vehicle .
● It should work with optimal power
and the efficiency should be high.
● An electric MOTOR is a device which
can produce mechanical energy using
electrical energy .

12. PAST / PRESENT OF SOLAR VEHICLE
The first model solar car invented was a
tiny 15-inch vehicle created by General
Motors employee, William G. Cobb.
Designated the Sunmobile, he displayed it
in 1955 at the Chicago, Powerama
convention.
The Lightyear 0 (formerly the Lightyear
One) is an all-solar-electric vehicle by the
Dutch car manufacturer Lightyear. The
first units of it were delivered in
December 2022 .

13. ADVANTAGES
• No noise pollution.
• No green house gases produced.
• Solar energy is free and widely
available
DISADVANTAGES
• Weather Dependent .
• Very expensive .
• Do not provide the same speeds and
power as traditional fuel-powered
vehicles.
ADVANTAGES /
DISADVANTAGES

14. FUTURE OF SOLAR
VEHICLES
● Future of solar vehicles are very bright .
● The global solar vehicle market was estimated at
USD 342.4 million in 2022 and is expected to reach
over USD 2,061.69 million by 2032 .
● The development of solar vehicles are must
needed for development of HYBRID SOLAR
VEHICLES .

15. CONCLUSION
Solar vehicles would be an amazing advancement in future vehicle technology. They
would allow for free travel and nearly unlimited accessibility. If the hurdles can be
passed then for sure solar vehicles will be the wave of the future .
