Abstract
AbstractThis study delineates the formulation, advancement, and empirical assessment of a remote-operated, solar-powered electric vehicle, specifically designed to foster sustainable and renewable energy paradigms within the realm of transportation. The initiative amalgamates solar energy collection, proficient energy storage mechanisms, electric propulsion systems, and wireless remote-control technologies into an integrated vehicle model. A chassis of minimal weight was meticulously engineered to maximize energy efficiency, while the photovoltaic array was judiciously dimensioned to fulfill the operational requirements of both the electric motor and the control system. The remote-control apparatus facilitates precise navigational capabilities, thereby augmenting the vehicles applicability across diverse operational contexts. Evaluations of performance under varying environmental conditions evidenced effective harnessing of solar energy, acceptable vehicle velocity, and dependable control responsiveness. The outcomes indicate that compact solar electric vehicles can function as credible prototypes for the prospective advancement of environmentally sustainable transportation technologies. Further recommendations for system refinement and prospective enhancements are also elucidated.Keywords: Electric mobility, Remote control system, Renewable energy, Solar-powered vehicle Sustainable transportation
