Background
of the study
This
project is to improve and develop the significance of solar energy in
automobile. A method of upgrading the conventional tricycle that uses petroleum
as a means of energy to Solar-Powered Electrical tricycle that is powered by an
electric motor which gets its supply from photovoltaic (PV) panels. The PV
panels must be mounted and installed on the tricycle without compromising
riding comfortability. The method employs an electric motor that are easily
connected and separated for ease of transport. The solar panel is connected to
the charge controller and then connected to the batteries for collecting solar
energy and converting it to electrical for recharging. The batteries are now
connected to the DC motor for providing electrical power to drive the
tricycle. This project is to improve and develop the significance of
solar energy in automobile.
This project is a combination of technology used typically in automobile
industries, solar industries and electrical industries. Therefore, this design
of solar powered
tricycle have been built for the purpose of solar tricycle only.

Project objectives
The
objectives of this project are:
To
design and construct a solar powered
tricycle To develop a tricycle that use renewable energy, enviromentally
friendly and cheap.
1.4
Scope of project
The
scope of this project is limited to the design and construction of a solar powered
tricycle that is powered by an electric motor which gets its power from
photo voltaic (PV) panel and uses solar energy and to convert the solar energy
to the electrical energy by using solar cells, then converting this electrical
energy to mechanical energy by using DC motor to run tricycle.
