Solar Car
Although at present we won’t find solar cars
running on our road, even these are not
available at any dealership but in the future
they will play a vital part.
The first solar car created on 31st
August 1955 by William G. Cobb of
General motors.
The solar car was made up:
A small pooley electric motor
12 selenium photovoltaic
cells
But, it was too small to drive.
Solar energy technology
classified into:
Passive solar technology
Active solar technology
Let’s know about passive solar technology:
Passive solar technology uses sunlight
without active mechanical system and
are adjusted to fit in any climate.
Such technology will convert sunlight into
usable heat with the help of some other
energy sources causing air-movement for
future use.
Let’s know about active solar technology:
Active solar technologies use photovoltaic
cells that will directly convert sunlight to
electricity .
How solar car works ???
Sunlight hits the cells of the solar array
producing some electrical current.
Then the energy passes to the motor
controller or the batteries for storage.
And it can be used to power the motor which
will make the car to move.
If the car is in running position then the
sunlight will directly pass to the motor
controller but if it receives more energy that
will get stored in the batteries.
Advantages Of Solar Energy:
Renewable resource
Cost free
Non polluting
Easy installation
No maintenance
Disadvantages:
High initial cost
Sun doesn’t shine 24 hours
Location
Inefficiency
