Abstract
Electric vehicle with more advantages of no noise, no pollution, saving energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions is to power-driven vehicle with a motor drive wheels moving. Solar electric vehicle can make to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution. All advantages of solar electric vehicle make research and application of solar electric vehicle as a “hot spot” of automotive industry and the trend of future cars. Solar electric vehicle is made of PV panels, battery, electric motor, vehicle controller and vehicle body. Solar electric vehicle drives using dual-mode of PV and battery hybrid. It can be achieved PV-driven and battery-driven independently. In good sunny conditions, the full charge endurance of solar electric vehicle can be increased about 35% substantially compared with no PV panels. Solar electric vehicle can achieve low-carbon, energy saving, environmental protection and true zero-emissions for the future of human life.
Highlights
In recent years, greenhouse gas emissions and exhaustion of natural fossil resources have become serious global issue [1]
solar electric vehicle (SEV) is made of PV panels, battery, electric motor, vehicle controller and vehicle body
A plug-in hybrids electric vehicle (PHEV) is very similar to the conventional hybrid electric vehicles available in the market today and use a combination of grid electricity, regenerative energy from braking, and power from another onboard source, such as an internal combustion engine or fuel cell
Summary
Greenhouse gas emissions and exhaustion of natural fossil resources have become serious global issue [1]. SEV can achieve low-carbon, energy saving, environmental protection and true zero-emissions for the future of human life. The absorber material of an efficient solar cell should be a semiconductor with a bandgap of 1~1.5 eV, a high optical absorption (104-105 cm-1) in the wavelength region of 350-1000 nm, a high quantum yield for the excited carriers, a long diffusion length low recombination velocity. A PHEV is very similar to the conventional hybrid electric vehicles available in the market today and use a combination of grid electricity, regenerative energy from braking, and power from another onboard source, such as an internal combustion engine or fuel cell. SEV is made of PV panels, battery, electric motor, vehicle controller and vehicle body.
