Abstract

Within the contemporary world, utilisation of efficient renewable sources of energy is of

profound importance. Electric vehicles are a prominent invention which might contribute in bridging
the gap between usage of renewable and non- renewable energy resources. The proposed system may
be a charging device for Electric vehicles through solar energy using IOT. The devices are often used
to charge many electrical vehicles and devices at one point using solar power. The ability generated by
the solar is tracked. GSM is used to send an alert message to the administrator if there's any power
reduction or other mishap within the process. an internet page is additionally created to test voltage by
power ratio within the graph. One amongst the goals is to forestall CO2 emissions and promote
sustainable living.

Keywords

1.Introduction

Fossil fuels are diminishing at a rapid
rate and it’s our obligation that we discover
new ways through which we are able to use
renewable sources of energy to realise
sustainable living and promote an
eco-friendly environment. The high
emission rates of Greenhouse gases play a
significant part within the increase of world
temperature and to blame for Ozone
depletion. Vehicle emissions of CO2
contribute over 15% of world emissions and
a regular vehicle emits about 4.6 metric a lot
of greenhouse emission p.a., contributing to
a warmer planet everyday. Energy obtained
from the sun's radiation on the earth when
tuned with the earth’s atmosphere or surface
is termed as energy. Presently, this is often
known by humans to be the prime renewable
energy till date, the energy produced in at
some point can sustain mankind and every
one the beings even when traditional energy
sources are depleted. With the free and
abundant alternative energy, photovoltaic
processes make sure that it's not only
sustainable but greater efficiency and
reliability to access wattage for charging
electric cars anywhere round the world
without environmental pollution. With little
upkeep, it's a viable approach to self
charging of electric vehicles.

electricity through the phenomenon of
photovoltaic effect, which is a physical and
chemical phenomena.

or more cells, each with a positive terminal, a
negative terminal, a divider, and an
electrolyte.

4.Methodology
The proposed system allows a single charging
point to be used by various electrical devices
one after another and is efficient in utilizing
solar energy for the charge of the vehicles. It
has a website through which one can monitor
voltage by power ratio. The existing system
does not have a GSM module which the
proposed system has incorporated to notify
the administrator or the potential user about
the stages of the charge or any mishap that
has occurred in the process.

Explanation
The approach used in our study involves
charging an electronic vehicle with the help
of a solar battery, viewing the availability of
max power using IOT devices, and therefore
tracking the max power provided by the solar.
The entire arrangement is connected to an
Arduino Board, and the charge level,
electricity produced and distributed levels are
displayed on an LCD. A GSM modem is used
to send an alarm message if there is a power
outage in the system. The voltage by power
ratio is tested using an internet portal. The
primary goal of this study is to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.

solar are often ground breaking in terms of
utilisation of sustainable energy. For

7.Future Enhancement
 One of the international companies has
already tested the vehicle. By doing so, they
have concluded that it could even fully power
the grids and areas where it was perfectly
possible. This data suggests that future solar
cars may not only be self-sufficient for short
round-trip trips to work and long trips across
the country, but may also contribute to the
planet's power supply. Given the key issues
associated with the world's growing energy
demand, this can often be big news. Modern
technology has come a long way. There are
many major health and environmental issues
associated with this situation in
transportation. Although still in the early
stages of development, solar cars are
promising and will be the most effective way
to address these issues. Early models are
promising and shouldn't take long for solar
cars to become a daily sight on the streets
near you.
