Solar Car Mechanics Explained

This document describes the components and functioning of a solar-powered car. It includes: 1) A solar array that collects sunlight and converts it to electricity, which is then sent to a power tracker. 2) A power tracker that converts the solar array voltage to a level usable by the car's systems and sends it to batteries for storage. 3) Batteries that store energy from the power tracker and provide power to the motor and controller. 4) A motor and controller - the controller regulates energy from the batteries to the motor, which uses this energy to drive the wheels and propel the car. Emergency batteries will power the car if there is no sunlight available.

Solar Energy Car

How it work?

Components
Solar

Array
Power Trackers
Batteries
Motor & Controller
What Will Happen if There is No
Sunlight

Solar Array

Collect the energy


from the sun and
converts it into
usable electrical
energy.

How solar array change sunlight


to usable energy

First thing the solar


array collect sunlight
together.
When sunlight is
collected together. It
immediately change
the sunlight to
electricity.
Next step is to the
power tracker.

Power Trackers

Power trackers
convert the solar
array voltage to the
system voltage.

Power tracker role

In this step the power


tracker in the car
receive the energy
from the solar array,
and change the
energy that it receive
to energy that the car
can be use
After it convert
energy, it send the
energy to the battery.

Batteries

The batteries store


energy from the
power tracker and
makes them
available for the
motor's use.

Use of battery

After the power tracker


convert the energy to
the energy that is
usable for the car, it
send to the battery
then the battery store
the energy.
This energy is send to
the motor and
controller to make the
car run.

Motor & Controller

The motor controller


adjusts the amount
of energy that flows
to the motor to
correspond to the
throttle.
The motor uses that
energy to drive the
wheels

How Solar-Power Car runs

When the energy is send


from the battery to the
motor, the motor adjust
the amount of energy
that flows to the throttle.
The motors use the
energy that receive to
run the wheel.
This is the process how
solar car runs

Solar Car brake

Kinds of break:
Friction brake is a type of automotive
that restore heat in the rotating part (drum
brake or disc brake) brake during the
application and then release it in the air.
Drum brake if you press with your leg the
brake is connected to the wheel that is
spinning.
Disc brake this one brake all the wheels
together and make the car slow down or
stop at that moment

Hand brake

In cars hand brake can


also help you when you
park your car in
shopping mall to not
let someone move
your.
Another way to call
hand brake is
emergency brake ebrake, park brake, slide
stick, or parking brake.

What Will Happen if There is No


Sunlight?

If there is no
sunlight, the
emergency batteries
will be used.
Example in the
situation that there
was a large cloud
cover the sky, this
emergency batteries
will be used.
