Dc motor + battery + solar panel

[boonsiang]

i would like to design a solar assisted driving mechanism for my bicycle?
What is the compatible battery specifications to power 24v 1hp dc motor and the necessary solar panel specification to charge the battery? I'm kinda clueless in this so any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Welcome to the PF.

Sounds like schoolwork. What is the context of the question?

it is not exactly homework but more of a project for me to do... it is really subjective but I'm trying to design a working motor system to assist the pedaling of a bicycle

Since it is schoolwork, I will move this thread to the Homework Help forums. You are also required to do the bulk of the work, so please show us what you have done so far. What resources have you been reading about electric motors, motorized bicycles, batteries and solar recharging systems? Have you done some calculations that show how big a panel and how long in the sunshine your system would have to sit in order to recharge the battery? I think you will find that it will take several days in the sunshine to let you ride for an hour or two...

I would recommend starting by researching the power requirements of your 1hp DC motor and the efficiency of different types of batteries. This will help determine the minimum battery capacity needed to power the motor and the type of battery that would be most compatible.

Next, consider the power output of the solar panel you plan to use. The size and efficiency of the solar panel will determine how much energy it can generate and how quickly it can charge the battery. It is important to ensure that the solar panel is capable of producing enough energy to fully charge the battery in a reasonable amount of time.

Additionally, it is important to consider the location and climate in which the solar panel will be used. Different regions and weather conditions can affect the efficiency of solar panels, so it is important to choose a panel that is suitable for your specific location.

It may also be helpful to consult with experts in the field of solar energy and battery technology to get specific recommendations and advice on the best specifications for your project. Good luck with your solar-assisted bicycle design!
