Abstract

Solar energy is mainly used as an energy source for cars, replacing traditional energy source, gasoline. The structure of the solar electric vehicle, including the body structure, tires, engine systems, transmission systems and electrical circuit design was introduced briefly in the paper. Work principle and ideal performance are carefully analysed. In the laboratory, the vehicle model is designed and manufactured. Through the laboratory tests, it can be shown that the designed vehicle can travel with low speed with good endurance with no pollution to the air.
