This document discusses a solar electric hybrid car. It begins by introducing hybrid vehicles that use two or more distinct power sources, such as internal combustion and electric motors. It then specifies that the hybrid electric car being discussed uses power from both an electric grid and solar cells. The basic principles of photovoltaic cells, DC motors, and battery recharging are covered. The basic design includes a power locomotion system and solar charger section. Advantages are low emissions and costs, while limitations are limited range without sun and high initial costs. The conclusion discusses designing solar cars for maximum sun exposure, drag reduction, and safety.

1. Solar Electric Hybrid Car

2. INTRODUCTION
Hybrid vehicle is a vehicle using more than one power source, or an engine
sourced from a different chassis.
A hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as internal
combustion engine+electric motor,[1] e.g. in diesel-electric trains using diesel
engines and electricity from overhead lines, and submarines that use diesels
when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy
include pressurized fluid, in hydraulic hybrids.
But , the hybrid electric car that we are going to discuss today is an electric car
which derives its power from an electric grid as well as a solar cell.

9. ● Advantages Of Solar Powered Cars
● Unlike regular cars, solar energy powered cars are able
to utilize their full power at any speed.
● Solar powered cars do not require any expense for
running.
● Solar cars are quite.
● Solar cars require very low maintenance.
● Solar cars produces no harmful emissions.

10. Limitations Of Solar Powered Cars
❑ Solar cars don’t have speed or power that regular cars have.
❑ Solar powered cars can operate only for limited distances is there is no
sun
❑ If it is dark out for many days, the car battery will not charge and you this
can seem as a problem to many problem. This is the main reason why
people don’t rely on solar cars.
❑ A good solar powered car is expensive. It will cost $200,000 or more.
❑ Parts used in solar cars are not produced in large quantity so they are
expensive.

11. Conclusions
Solar powered cars usually are designed with
distinctive shapes because designers’ objective is
to minimize drag and car weight and maximize the
exposure to sun light. The design considerations
also involve the safety of the car.
The aim of this project is to construct a working
model of an environment friendly car which would
be economically feasible generating zero carbon
footprint .
