The INTRO SOLAR CAR is a four-wheeled vehicle, driven by Scorpio Technology’s High Performance electric motor. The power source is two purpose-designed solar panels. Power to the wheels is transferred from the motor by gears. This car will run on a smooth level surface from 25% sunlight upwards.
Each Solar panel produces 2.0 Volts and 0.9Amps, and they can be connected in series or parallel.
By building and experimenting with this car students will gain a significant insight into renewable energy, and also the advantage of low friction wheels.
