Solar golf cart electrical question

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of using a 200W PV panel, a solar regulator, six 6V DC batteries, and a 24V DC motor in a solar golf cart project. The components are generally compatible; however, the effectiveness of the system depends on the specific design and integration of these components. Proper calculations regarding power output, battery capacity, and motor requirements are essential to ensure successful operation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solar panel specifications and output
  • Knowledge of battery configurations and voltage requirements
  • Familiarity with solar regulators and their functions
  • Basic principles of electric motor operation and specifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research solar panel output calculations for optimal performance
  • Learn about battery capacity and discharge rates for 6V DC batteries
  • Explore the role of solar regulators in managing power flow
  • Investigate the specifications and requirements of 24V DC motors
USEFUL FOR

Engineering students, hobbyists designing solar-powered vehicles, and anyone interested in renewable energy applications in transportation.

I have a final year project which is to design and build a solar golf cart. I have system for the electrical part of the design in mind, I would just like some clearance on whether these components will actually work. Here goes, this is what i was thinking of:
1. 1 x 200W PV Panel
2. 1 x Solar regulator
3. 6 x 6V DC Batteries
4. 1 x 24V DC Motor

Thanks in advance.

Are you asking if will they work together as a system? We have no way to know without seeing the design.
