Within the limit of fifty years or more, all the fuels found in the earth will be vanished. The main reason for this depletion is due to increase in population and the production of vehicles. We the Engineers can overcome this by developing a new generation vehicle called Solar Hybrid Vehicle. This vehicle can run through solar energy as well as electricity. So only this is called as Solar Hybrid Vehicle. In last years, as a consequence of the diffusion of Hybrid Electric Vehicles and to the growing recourse to renewable sources, increasing attention is being given to the integration of these vehicles with photovoltaic panels. Hybrid Solar Vehicles might represent a valuable solution to face both energy saving and environmental issues, particularly in case of intermittent use in urban conditions, but relatively little research effort has been spent in this direction. Here it is proposed to have a parabolic point focusing type solar collector to receive the energy. This paper mainly aims at the usage of
The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance and solar electricity power plants produce zero emissions. Solar power plants use two different types of technologies: Concentrated solar power and Photovoltaic systems. Concentrated solar power plants, also known as “concentrated solar thermal”, uses solar thermal energy to make steam that is converted into electricity by a turbine. A photovoltaic system, also known as solar panels, generates electricity from sunlight. It is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy.
Solar cars do exist, but they can only store a certain amount of energy and probably aren’t the best for long drives. Solar panels allow particles of light to move around atoms, This causes it to make electrical energy and can happen through each of the solar panels layers. Solar panels are able to save and store the energy which can be used for later.
Photovoltaic (PV) is the most common solar collector used today; an example is the panels people put on rooftops or vending machines.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into direct current. For this to be achieved, semi-conducting materials would be required to induce the photovoltaic effect. A photovoltaic system comprises solar panels, each fitted with a number of solar cells that supply solar energy to the system. In the absence of sunlight, solar power would be available for household or commercial lighting applications (Ratlamwala 86). This paper examines the feasibility of converting solar PV electricity into hydrogen for fuel cells based on: cost of hydrogen production (per kilogram), the quantity of solar power required to generate hydrogen (per kilogram), the feasibility of the technology in the UAE amid the costs and efficiencies of the system components.

Driven by a desire to tackle the global warming phenomenon, I decided to carry out my final year project work on a solar power generation device, where I came up with an innovative method and designed a dual axis model which used the solar power to operate and produce renewable energy with improved efficiency.
This hybrid transpired solar collector (see figure 3) was developed to simultaneously produce heat and electric energy using solar radiation [1]. In 1998 (Hollick) and 2008 (Delisle), conducted experiment by bonding photovoltaic cells to transpired solar collectors, but results were not satisfactory as the thermal efficiency turned out to be less than that of conventional

A flat plate solar collector has a dynamic behaviour in response to variations in the intensity of solar radiation at different times of the day and also variations in weather conditions. The characteristics governing the input-output behaviour of a flat plate collector can be described by a mathematical model which serves as a prerequisite for simulation and control. The steady state and transient characteristics of flat plate solar collectors have been studied in \cite{Hilmer1999Solar,Dhariwal2005Solar,deRon1980,RodriguezHidalgo2011,Refaie1980}. Depending on the complexity of the flat plate solar collector under observation, deriving a mathematical model may lead to a high order model which requires high computational effort and longer
Many studies have been developed and carried out in terms of modeling of parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) technology. In the following, 13 research papers related to the present work are studied, analyzed, and summarized.
Several researches have discussed the Integration and combined utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, small hydropower and their hybrid configurations. Different authors used different Technology option and approaches for a range of hybrid systems at different times, locations and different countries for determination of the optimal design of the hybrid system in terms of cost and the reliability that has become of great importance with the increasing in using of hybrid renewable energy systems, especially in remote area electrification. There have been a number of researches carried out in this regard over the last few decades.
Now a day’s people are more concerned about the application of the renewable energy source, like wind, tidal, biomass, ocean and solar radiation (photovoltaic) because of the raising oil prices, fossil fuel deficit, global warming and negative impact of environment. Among all the renewable energy sources the energy through photovoltaic (PV) can be most
Now days the renewable energy is utilized in many forms. It exist in forms of various energy like sun energy , wind energy and water energy. The sun energy is one of the best of these energies so, we can benefit from it in so many purpose and ways , like the case in solar cars. Presently , the solar cars are available in a lot of countries. Since, they have many benefits and advantages. Therefor, in this essay I am going to talk about the solar car, its component , advantages and disadvantages of it and development of solar cars.
Abstract: The current energy situation with fossil fuels as the main source of the world’s energy has two main flaws: fossil fuels contribute to global warming via the greenhouse effect and they are limited in the quantity that remains. Solar power solves both of these problems and can be captured by utilizing photovoltaic cells. However, photovoltaic cells have their own drawbacks due to their high costs of installation and maintenance.
