Abstract


The requirement of the more and more energy sources is continuously increasing day by day. The non-renewable energy is pollutant generating fuel and will be exhaust after a certain limit of time. To overcome these problems, use of renewable energy, such as solar energy should be used. So for the better use of solar energy, the solar electric car should be more advance and efficient. The basic principle of solar electric car is that it intakes the solar energy through the solar panels. The solar panel charges the battery and the battery drives the electric motor. The electric motor can move the vehicle in both directions, forward and backward. This idea will be helpful in the future for the best use of the fuel as the non-renewable fuel will be exhausted. All the present electric cars uses the principle of conversion of DC to AC power supply for the motor. For this setup, it requires an inventor for the conversion of the DC supply to AC supply. Due to this conversion the energy results in the loss of the power, and hence the output decreases. As for the concern, the maintenance of the AC components is less as compared to the DC.
