Abstract
To design and develop a Solar Powered system which enable "charging on drive" feature for an E-bikeAt present, the E-batteries bike’s are charged using a static charger, which is permanently installed in one place. When the battery warning light comes on, we have to find a charging station, which may or may not be close by. Using solar energy is a step in the right direction toward a more sustainable future because it is both safe and clean. Incorporating a lightweight (flexible) PV panel currently on the market, we bring the novel concept of "charging on drive" to promote E-Vehicle use. The variation of solar panel output power with respect to factors like insolation, temperature, and Vmp is something we're modeling mathematically in matlab.
