Acknowledgement
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my Physics
mentors Mr. Raje5h and Mr. Govind for their vital
support, guidance and encouragement without which
this project would not have come forth from my side.

Solar Array
The solar array consists of hundreds of photovoltaic solar cells
converting light into electricity. The solar array is the vehicle's only
source of power. The power from the array is used either to power
the electric motor or stored in the battery pack for later use

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 for propulsion.
When the solar array is charging the batteries, the power
trackers help to protect the batteries from being damaged by
overcharging. Power trackers can be very lightweight and
commonly reach efficiencies above 95%
Electric Motor
An electric motor is the basic and the most important part of a
solar car. It should work with optimal power and the efficiency
should be high . An electric motor is a device using electrical energy
to produce mechanical energy, nearly always by the interaction of
magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors
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.
Chassis
The primary challenge in developing an effective solar car
chassis is to maximize the strength and safety, but minimize the
weight. However, safety is a primary concern and the
chassis must meet stringent strength and safety requirements.
Battery
Battery is the main power supply of a vehicle , a battery is a
device that stores chemical energy and makes it available in an
electrical form.

ADVANTAGES
Eco-friendly
One of the most significant benefits of a solar powered vehicle is that it is highly
nature-friendly. Solar powered automobiles produce a negligible amount of
greenhouse gasses that are responsible for the depletion of the protective
ozone layer.
