 Introduction
• What is Energy?
• Electric Vehicles
• Non-Conventional Source of Energy
• Solar Powered Electric Vehicles
Solar Car Internal Structure
Working of a Solar Vehicle
• A basic layout for understanding
• Overview of working model
Overview of working model
 Components in an SPEV
1. Solar
Panel
• A 250 watt solar panel can
produce about 30-40kWh.
• A low end solar panel can
produce approximately 1kWh
a day.
• 12 Panels can generate 12kWh
(approximately 60km a day).
2. Electric Motor

3. Electric Generator
4. DC to DC Converter
Buck Converter Performance Waveform
5. Battery bank

(A reference picture of battery packs in an EV)

• Types of batteries.
• Functions of a battery.

* Solar-powered cars normally

operate in batteries that range
from 80 to 170 V. *
6. Internal Combustion Engine (ICE)

detailing its
structure)
8. Solar Charge Controller
Design – Construction of SPEVs
Design- Circuit Diagram
Solar based Electric Boat
• India’s first Solar
ferry/boat.
• World’s best
electric boat.
