FABRICATION OF SOLAR HYBRID CAR

Objective:
The objective of this project is to control the Robot car for
Application through the solar power.
Scope:
This project is used to the Robot Controller Application in the remote
areas. Solar energy is used to give the power to robot because now a days
power demand is increased due to this power failure happens many time.
Methodology:
This project is designed by following blocks
ATMEL Micro controller
Charging circuit
Battery
Keypad
Motor driver circuit
Robot car
Solar panel consists of number of silicon cells, when sun light falls
on this panel it generate the voltage signals then these voltage signals given
to charging circuit. Depends on the panel board size the generated voltage
amount is increased. In charging circuit the voltage signal from the board is
gathered together and stored in the battery. The battery power is used to
control the robot.

Here Microcontroller may be ATMEL/PIC/RENESAS/ARM

Microcontroller both are flash type reprogrammable Microcontroller in
which we had programmed. The set of keys in the keypad is used to control
the robot such that forward, reverse, right and left. The driver circuit controls
the motors, which are attached in the robot. The driver circuit constructed
with transistors to turn ON and turn OFF the relays. The relays output are
directly connected to motors. When we press the keys in the keypad the
signal is given to micro controller. Now the micro controller activates the
driver circuit. So the robot is moving in the corresponding direction.

1. Solar energy is used to control the robot car so we can save the power.
2. Even though power failure happens, we can control the robot car.
3. We can use the solar energy to control the robot car for any
application.
Application:
This project is very useful in the industrial application.
