Abstract


Solar energy is energy in the form of rays and heat from the sun. This energy can be harnessed using various technologies, such as solar panels. Solar panels consist of solar cells that convert light into electrical energy. The topic of this research is the use of solar panels for battery charging on electric tricycles. The process of developing an electric tricycle with solar power consists of several stages, from the preparation of the tricycle, the development design, and the manufacture of the solar panel frame and holder to the assembly and testing process. The result of this research is an electric tricycle uses a 48 Volt with two units solar panel 100 Wp, 7.2 Ah battery with a charging time of 1 hour 22 minutes, using a 350 Watt Brushless DC motor. The maximum speed of an electric tricycle with solar panels is as expected: a distance range of 45 km and a load of 120 kg (per person).
