DAY STAR
If there's no such thing as a free lunch, how about a free ride?
Think of how wonderful it would be if your car could continue running without you spending a dime on fuel.
Much like solar-powered homes, solar cars harness energy from the sun, converting it into electricity.
That electricity then fuels the battery that runs the car's motor.
WHAT IS A SOLAR CAR? A solar vehicle is a vehicle powered by a type
of renewable energy, by solar energy obtained from solar panels on the surface (generally, the roof) of the vehicle
A solar car is a solar vehicle used for land transport.
Solar cars combine technology typically used in the aerospace, bicycle, alternative energy and automotive industries. The design of a solar vehicle is severely limited by the amount of energy input into the car
Solar cars depend on PV cells to convert sunlight into electricity
Solar vehicles are not sold as practical day-to-day transportation devices at present, but are primarily demonstration vehicles and engineering exercises, often sponsored by government agencies.
AN ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCT…
Eco-friendly products are products that do not harm the environment, whether in their production, use or disposal.
Going green products when in use, help conserve energy, minimize carbon footprint or the emission of greenhouse gases, and does not lead to substantial toxicity or pollution to the environment.
BUILDING A SOLAR CAR…Solar cars are powered by the sun's energy. The main component of a solar car is its solar array, which collect the energy from the sun and converts it into usable electrical energy. The solar cells collect a portion of the sun's energy and stores it into the batteries of the solar car. Before that happens, power trackers converts the energy collected from the solar array to the proper system voltage, so that the batteries and the motor can use it. After the energy is stored in the batteries, it is available for use by the motor & motor controller to drive the car. The motor controller adjusts the amount of energy that flows to the motor to correspond to the throttle. The motor uses that energy to drive the wheels.
COMPONENTS OF A SOLAR CAR Solar Array and Power Trackers The solar array voltage does not need to match the
system voltage of the motor if we use power trackers. Power trackers convert the solar array voltage to the
system voltage. They are essential in a solar car. Need to to verify with the power tracker vendor the
necessary array voltage to feed the power trackers. If the car drives underneath shade, the power
trackers automatically adjusts the power to match system voltage, allowing the system to run as efficient as possible.
TO DRIVE AT NIGHT
The batteries store energy from the solar array and makes them available for the motor's use.
Used lead-acid batteries because they are readily available and inexpensive. Lithium and nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries All batteries will wear out in 1-15 years Solar cars depend on PV cells to convert sunlight
into electricity to drive electric motors. Unlike solar thermal energy which converts solar energy to heat, PV cells directly convert sunlight into electricity.
photovoltaic (PV) cells contained in solar panels convert the sun's energy directly into electric energy.
Motor & Controller DC brush motors was sufficient to get a solar car
up and running. There was little need to have more than 5hp
continuous power output on our motors. Controllers usually drive a particular motor. Once
we chose the motor that suited our needs, we chose same vendor to have a matching controller.
Instrumentation One of the most important pieces of
instrumentation is a state-of-charge meter. A state-of-charge meter gives information about system voltage, amp draw, battery energy remaining, and estimates the how much time remains until the battery is out of energy.
We found that the E-Meter, manufactured by Cruising Equipment, served out purpose well. It has a digital display and accurately counts the number of amp-hours remaining in the battery.
The E-Meter is the do-it-all in instrumentation.
Steering & Suspension Soft enough to protect the car and solar array
from unnecessary jolts and firm enough to provide a stable ride.
Worked out the geometry so that they run parallel when the car is going straight ahead, but when the car is turning, the front wheels turn at different radii. If the car is turning left, the left front tire is making a smaller circle than the right front tire. If the tires remain parallel while turning, they will cause unnecessary drag, decreasing tire life and overall performance.
Brakes Disc brakes are desirable as they are
predominantly hydraulic. Have brake calipers that are spring loaded to
move the pads away from the rotors
Tires & Hubs Bridgestone Ecopia tires made for solar cars. They are very thin and operate at over one
hundred pounds/inch pressure.

MARKET SIZE AND GROWTH
Current market size and market share
Ten countries currently form the membership of the ASEAN
Combined automotive sales in the ASEAN’s six main markets are Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia
FORECAST FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE SALES AS FOLLOW:
MARKET SHARE OF ECO-FRIENDLY CAR
diesel62.5%
hybrid/gasoline19.6%
biogas5.1%
ethanol12.6%
electrical0.1%
solar0.1%
As shown in the market share chart, the solar market share is 0.1% of eco-friendly car.
So the market size for year 2012 should be: Singapore: 20,000 units x 10% x 0.1%= 2 units Vietnam: 150,000 units x 10% =15 units Philippines: 170,000 units x 10% = 17 units Malaysia: 620,000 units x 10% = 62 units Thailand: 1,000,000 units x 10% =100 units Indonesia: 970,000 units x 10% = 97 units
