Eco-Friendly Solar-Powered Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Transportation Solution

Abstract

The proposed invention introduces an eco-friendly solar-powered electric vehicle system that integrates high-efficiency photovoltaic solar panels into the vehicle’s structure, enabling the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This electricity powers the vehicle’s motor and charges its battery, reducing reliance on traditional charging methods and minimizing carbon emissions. The system features a battery management system (BMS) to optimize energy storage and ensure the efficient distribution of solar energy. A smart energy management system further enhances the vehicle's efficiency by directing solar energy to the motor during use and storing excess energy in the battery during idle periods. Additionally, the vehicle includes vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities, allowing it to feed excess solar energy back into the grid, contributing to local energy distribution and promoting sustainability. This solar-powered EV system offers a viable, self-sustaining transportation solution that helps reduce the environm
