    The document describes the design and components of a solar-powered vehicle, including: 1) The solar car is powered by solar panels that charge batteries, with an electric motor for propulsion. It can only operate during sunny conditions. 2) The design specifications include solar panels, batteries, a small electric motor, wheels, and a lightweight but strong chassis and body made of cardboard. 3) Assembly involves connecting the solar panels, batteries, motor, and attaching the body and wheels. Safety and environmental benefits are discussed.

    INTRODUCTION OF SOLAR CAR
    • It can charge only in sunny days.
    • The solar cell didn’t work on cloudy days or
    rainy days.
    • The mechanical system is difficult because it
    needs to be strong yet light weight.
    •  Solar cars are beneficial because they do not use
    fossil fuels and they reduce pollution.
    DESIGN SPECIFICATION
    Solar car consists of
    Solar panel : (6V)
    Batteries : 6V
    Motor : Small electric motor (Permanent magnetic type DC motor
    (3W))
    A propulsion system : pulley propulsion and gear propulsion.
    Wheel System : 4 wheels (2 front and 2 rear) toy wheels
    Chassis : Strong and lightweight
    Car body : cardboard
    Wheel axles : Stiff wire
    Vehicle Dimensions : Maximum length: 25 cm (Front to back)
    : Maximum wide: 18 cm (Side to side)

    SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
    • Safer than traditional electric current
    • Solar power is pollution free and causes no
    greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation
    • Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
    • Renewable clean power that is available every day of
    the year, even cloudy days produce some power
    • Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills
    ADVENTAGES AND DISADVENTAGES OF PRODUCTION

    A D V E N TA G E S D I S A D V E N TA G E S

    • Use batteries to store extra • No solar power at night so


    power for use at night there is a need for a large
    • Solar can be used to heat battery bank
    water, power homes and • Devices that run on DC
    building, even power cars power directly are more
    • Excess power can be sold expensive
    back to the power • Cloudy days do not
    company if grid intertied produce much energy
