  • Abstract
    This paper presents the results of a team approach to the design and construction of an electrical system for a solar electric vehicle. The design proceeds from the selection of solar cells to the brushless DC motor inverter fed electric drive with solar tracking and optimal battery storage. The vehicle design is being implemented for construction in the 1997 Sunrayce
