ABSTRACT

The aim of this project is to design and produce a
solar boat. This project gives as a chance to study
and apply the concept of solar-powered boat. It also
gives a background about some design concerns
such as solar cells, aerodynamic shape and drag
force.

Some important care studies such as drag
calculations, aerodynamic body and other design
cases to maximize its surface area in order to get the
maximum power from solar cell.

PROJECT : SOLAR BOAT

OBJECTIVE
To design a solar boat that using solar power as an alternative
To produce a solar powered boat that is free emissions including CO
2
that
caused greenhouse Effect.
Solar energy is completely free. Sure, there is an initial capital cost but once
you have made the investment the energy harvested from the sun costs you
nothing

THEORY SCIENTIFIC
Photons in sunlight hit the solar panel and are absorbed by semiconducting
materials, such as silicon.
Electrons (negatively charged) are knocked loose from their atoms, allowing
them to flow through the material to produce electricity. Due to the special
composition of solar cells, the electrons are only allowed to move in a single
direction.
An array of solar cells converts solar energy into a usable amount of direct
current (DC) electricity.
