Description
Summary:The renewable energy became an essential demand for today’s world life for all its importance in decreasing pollution and keeping our environment clean. The solar car is a step in saving our environment and energy resources. The New project under Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) - URIF grant is targeted to run the university Buggy using solar photovoltaic. The 48V Buggy Car Charging Station has been developed and installed at Property Management and Maintenance Office (PMMO), UTP. A new solar-powered buggy car is assembled in innovative manner with state-of-art material and component. The maximum solar voltage allowed for the system is 150V at 45Acharging rate and the maximum efficiency of MPPT/CHARGER could be as high as 98%.
