INTRODUCTION

 Vehicles that are in the market cause pollution and the fuel cost is also
increasing day by day.
 Due to ignition of the hydrocarbon fuels, in the vehicle, some time
difficulties such as wear and tear may be higher and more attention is
needed for proper maintenance.
 Solar bicycle also known as solar e-bike is an electric bicycle with an
electric motor driven by battery cells charged by solar panels.
 Photovoltaic(PV) cells in solar panels convert Sun’s energy into electrical
energy.
 Also uses a dynamo to charge the battery of the vehicle.
WHY SOLAR e-Bikes?

 RENEWABLE : Sun Is Ever Lasting Source Of Energy

 NON-POLLUTING : Does Not Release Green House Gases.
 NO NOISE : Solar Power Does Not Produce Any Noise.
 ZERO MAINTAINENCE : Less Wear & Tear Because No Reciprocating Parts
 LIGHT AND EFFICIENT : Doesn’t Require Human Effort
 FAST : Speed upto 32 Km/H, Instant Acceleration.
 HYBRID : Can Be Pedaled, Charged By Solar, Electricity, or Dynamo.
HOW IT WORKS?
BATTERIES

 Batteries used will be Lead Acid Type.

 Lead acid batteries have lower cost, higher current carrying capacity
MOTOR

 Permanent Magnet DC Motor will be used.

 Higher initial torque and less field loss.
 Smaller in size.
 PMDC motors are cheaper
SOLAR PANELS

 Solar energy systems generally don’t require a lot of maintenance.

 Lifetime of 20-25 years.
 Efficiency of 18-25%.
LIMITATIONS

 Solar system should be charged periodically

 Not fit for long travel
 Not applicable for heavy loads until suitable power supply & driving unit.
 Efficiency of the solar system drops in bad weather conditions.
