Abstract

At present, solar vehicle is employed together of the cardinal energy saving vehicle where the appliance of renewable energy meets sustainable energy demand with reduction of fuel cost plus purification of atmosphere. During this vehicle, solar power powers all or a part of a vehicle's propulsion. For running a model car or vehicle which may be a miniature representation of an automobile, electric power is required to run the car. As there lies shortage of electric power in Southeast Asian country, it's become an important issue to initiate the utilization of renewable energy in developing countries like Bangladesh for reducing the demand of electricity. This paper deals with an effort to research the energy recovery possibilities from the solar power by employing a solar array which converts light energy from the sun into electric power. That power is transmitted to the accumulator. The stored power of battery is employed to run the car. Speed to weight ratio of vehicle illustrates comparatively more flexible and straightforward than any other design when load is varying. Aerodynamic drag, weight, and rolling resistance all influence the car's design. Due to its simplicity and fewer bulkiness this design also reflects cost effectiveness and user friendliness.
