technical skills of the Indian engineering students by providing them the
technical know-how and giving them practical experience.
5.Develop
management skills, both human and resource management and inculcate
desirable qualities like communication and leadership, apart from ability
to work as a team.

technical skills in the field of solar technology, dynamics, machine
design, automobile design etc.
7.Gain
practical experience in design and fabrication.

India and Asia on a world platform.
9.To
win maximum awards in the PANASONIC WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE 2007.
The
heart of the Delhi University solar car is the electrical system which is
made up of batteries and power electronics. The
electrical system controls and manages all the power that enters and exits
the system.The electrical components include a 1500w dc brush less hub
motor ,a motor controller ,peak power
controller and other parts. The battery used is a set of Lead
acid Gel VRLA batteries giving a voltage of about 48V at 60Ah(12 volt
contributed by a single battery). The batteries are used as a backup when
the solar intensity is less.The solar array is the vehicle's only source
of power during the cross-country Race. The Solar array
is made up of many (often several hundred) photovoltaic solar cells that
convert the sun's energy into electricity.
Mechanical
The
mechanical systems of a solar car are generally simple in concept, but
they are designed to minimize friction and weight while maintaining the
strength needed to handle the various road conditions. The mechanical
systems include the suspension, brakes, steering,
wheels, and tires. The drive
train will consist of the electric Hub motor which is connected
directly to the rim of the tyre. The main goals when designing the body
are to minimize the aerodynamic drag, maximize the exposure to solar
insolation, minimize weight, and maximize safety. The weight of the car is
approx. 350 kg. The exterior of the car is deliberately made of Fiber
Reinforced Plastic.

During
these competitions, students learn about solar panels, electric motors,
electronics, vehicle chassis, bodywork, aerodynamics, suspension, batteries
and how to solve practical problems during the design process, while working
as a team. It's demanding stuff and more fun that laying in bed
watching TV, where individuals may seek inspiration, but achieve very
little.
