SOLAR-ASSIST ELECTRIC VEHICLES

SOLAR-ASSIST ELECTRIC VEHICLES

ABSTRACT:

Internal combustion engine has problems of smoke, dirt, dust and these causes environmental pollution, which are harmful to human beings also fuels required for conventional engines are depleting at a fast rate. So, in future we use electric vehicle. Electric vehicles use electric motors instead of an internal combustion engine to provide motive force. Solar-Powered vehicles use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The electricity goes directly to an electric motor powering the vehicle, or to special storage battery. PV cells produce electricity only when sun is shining without sunlight; a solar-powered car depends on electricity stored in batteries. PV cells are being used in some prototype electric vehicles to their driving range.
These are often referred to as solar-assist electric vehicles. In which vehicle receives only small amount of electricity from solar energy, uses conventional methods of recharging batteries.
