- Encourage Technological Innovation
To apply modern technologies such as photovoltaic cells, batteries, and motor controllers.
Issues
- Limited Power Generation
Solar panels generate limited energy, especially in cloudy or rainy weather.
- Low Energy Conversion Efficiency
Present solar cells have efficiency limitations (typically 15%–25%).
- High Initial Cost
Quality solar panels, batteries, and controllers increase project cost.
- Battery Storage Constraints
Batteries have limited capacity, charging time, and lifespan.
- Weight Management
Additional components increase vehicle weight, affecting performance.
