1. INTRODUCTION

Solar energy conversion is one of the most addressed topics in the field of renewable energy, which is quite
significant. Solar radiation particularly is usually converted into two forms of energy: thermal and electrical energy.
The solar electricity specifically has applications in many systems basically such as rural electricity, water pumping
and satellite communications in a big way. Solar Power was usually used for all intents and purposes large scale-grid
system and also basically stands alone system or small remote photovoltaic plant, which kind of is quite significant.
This paper definitely shows that Charging definitely Electric Vehicle from Solar Energy in a fairly major way.
Recently, developing new types of energy conversion and storage systems specifically is becoming evident because
of increasing basically human population and thus sort of greater reliance on energy-based devices for survival,
which is quite significant. Due to the rapid increase in the world population and economic expansion geometrically,
this generally is bringing about rapidly diminishing actually fossil fuels and the continuously growing environmental
concerns as greenhouse gas emissions in a particularly big way. Now by using new technology in this project, much
more electronic devices kind of are being used to definitely replace manpower thus leading to a kind of further
increase in energy consumption in a particularly major way. Energy obtained from the suns radiations when in
contact with the earth’s atmosphere and or surface as irradiances kind of is called solar energy, contrary to popular
belief. Recently, this is known by humans to be the fairly prime renewable energy in existence till date, the energy
produced in day is able of sustaining mankind even when traditional energy sources gets finished, particularly
contrary to popular belief. This readily available environmentally friendly energy source can easily kind of be
basically obtain via series of methods as photovoltaic, solar thermal energy, definitely artificial photosynthesis, solar
heating and also solar architecture in a generally major way. Research works literally have shown that at the core of
the sun, the solar energy really is in form of nuclear energy brought about by continues fusion between hydrogen
and helium atoms each definitely second in a subtle way. Thus as a result of this, it radiates out close to 3.8×1026
joules of solar energy each second, really contrary to popular belief. With the definitely free and abundant solar
irradiances that provides enormous times fairly more energy to the Earth than we consume, photovoltaic processes
ensures that not only sustainable but sort of greater efficiency and reliability to access electrical power for charging
very electric cars anywhere around the world without environmental pollution. With little upkeep, viable approach

charge more devices without having external power from the national grid, it will be able to reduce some of the
demand for energy .Most of the peoples aware of the effects of using oil and natural gas as a form of energy. These
techniques do create plenty of energy, however they are non-renewable and they results in damaged the ecosystem
and earth atmosphere. The objective of this project is to charge the vehicles environmentally safe which will help
to reduce the demand of power from other methods. Our objective for this project will generate power from solar
energy.

5.2 Charge Controller

The Charge Controller definitely is a switching device that can disconnect the charge to the battery and it
will for all intents and purposes take control over charging and basically stop charging at the fairly correct voltage.
This will mostly protect the batteries from damage from overcharging and mostly regulate the power going from the
solar Panel to the batteries. A microcontroller in the circuit will really read the level of the batteries and then cut-off
the source of the solar panel to the batteries, once it sees the battery definitely is at the fully charged state. If this
specifically was not in place, the solar panels would definitely keep feeding the batteries energy and the batteries
energy and the batteries would actually become overheated and damage the internal components. The advantages to
generally have a microcontroller in the system essentially is that it will for all intents and purposes open a verify of
future to particularly add the system. For example the microcontroller will be programmed to control and display the
battery level of the system in a for all intents and purposes big way. It will ensure that there essentially is enough
power to charge device by displaying the gauge on a 7 segment LCD in a subtle way. If there for the most part is
insufficient power, it will basically prevent the system from being used until sufficient power particularly has been
reached, or so they for the most part thought.
