ABSTRACT:
The study introduces an eco-friendly vehicle powered by sunlight, aimed at solving mobility issues for people living in remote regions. A new design combines solar panels for energy generation with an electric vehicle powered by a compact, efficient 250-watt, 24-volt direct current engine to achieve environmentally friendly transportation at reduced costs. By examining in-depth studies on how well solar panels work, managing batteries effectively, and understanding what makes motors perform optimally, researchers show that using solar-powered bicycles is practical for use in remote areas. This innovative design harnesses solar energy for additional electrical supply, thereby extending vehicle operation without reliance on conventional utility grids. The performance assessment reveals that the 250W direct current motor setup achieves an ideal equilibrium among energy efficiency, durability, and upkeep needs in remote settings. The economic evaluation indicates possible reductions in costs by as much as 65%, relative to traditional fuels used for transport. This system achieves substantial ecological advantages by eliminating all direct pollution outputs and harnessing clean, sustainable power resources. Experimental validation demonstrates the system’s efficacy for ensuring dependable transport services alongside supporting environmental sustainability objectives within remote areas.
