i am doing a project on solar vehicles and whether they can be an alternative to a combustion engine
what are some sections i can look into to come to a conclusion.

i need more info on

battery types/materials/combinations.
solar cell materials/power produced/efficiencies/ how they are arranged etc

body materials used and cost of the materials

what other sections should i research to come to a conclusion
performance figures all relate to the cells/battery and the weight, anything else i can add

Q&A: How many solar panels with one wind generator would you need to power a pop up?

January 24th, 2012

Question by tucher87: How many solar panels with one wind generator would you need to power a pop up?
I am looking at buying a pop up and would like to make it run off of deep cycle batteries but charging these batteries I would like to use a combination of solar panels and 1 wind generator. How many batteries would I need how many solar panels and what wind generator should I buy. I would be powering the lights an fridge and sometimes a AC or Heater.

Thanks
I live in west Texas where it never rains and its always windy

Answer by redsrule4500
Hope it’s not cloudy without wind for a while, you’ll be left with warm food and darkness.

An air conditioner/heater would be such a huge load on the system, wind/solar most likely don’t make sense for an individual, unless you’re on a lake or in California where it’s sunny everyday.

You would need around 200 W for a fridge, 100 W for small lights, and….500 W (?) for heating/air….so you’re looking at some pretty big batteries!! Every 2 hours you will use at least 1.5 kWh of energy.

Solar bottle-bulbs bring light to Filipinos

November 11th, 2011

Millions of the poorest people in the Philippines live without electricity. Many are informal settlers who connect themselves to power sources illegally, often leading to fires breaking out in their homes. Now, a new and cheap solar-light idea is providing an answer for a growing number of Filipinos. Al Jazeera’s Marga Ortigas reports from Manila, the Philippines.
