♦ Solar Car ♦
We live in a modern world. Where everything is made of science, there are various modern equipment’s which have made our daily life much easier, more comfortable and this discovery of science is controlling our life. But naturally there is a good side to a corpse as well as a bad side. An important discovery of science is the car. Every day we all use the car to get from one place to another. But the black smoke emitted from cars is polluting our environment. The air is polluting. This is increasing carbon dioxide in the air. As a result, the temperature of the earth is also increasing. So it can be said that cars are harming us by polluting the environment just as they are making our lives easier. To protect the environment from this pollution, we need to reduce the use of cars. There is also another way is the solar car. The quests for a constant, safe, clean, environmental-friendly fuel is never-ending. Carbon-based fuels, such as fossil fuels are unsustainable and hazardous to our environment. Some of the alternatives are renewable energy sources which include all fuel types and energy carriers, different from the fossil ones, such as the sun, wind, tides, hydropower and biomass. Amongst these elements, solar energy is preferred since it could provide the cleanest sustainable energy for the longest duration of time – the next few billion years. Photovoltaic production becomes double every two years, increasing by an average of 48 percent each year since 2002.
Solar cars would not contribute to global warming or to the production of CO2.The main objective of this project is to construct a solar car to allow transport for people travelling a certain amount of distance everyday.
Solar cars are powered by the sun’s energy ergo solar panels are the most important part of a solar car since they are solely responsible for collecting the sun’s energy. The solar panels used in this project are mono crystalline and flexible. They can be mounted and fitted on top of the car or on the bonnet with ease owing to their thin semi-flexible nature. The solar panels will collect energy from the sun and convert it into usable electrical energy, which in turn will be stored in the lead acid batteries to be supplied to the motor when necessary.is not enough sunshine due to fog, cloud or rain. This is how solar cars work. And through this we can prevent environmental pollution.
