Development of an Efficient Solar Powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle with an Onboard Solar Tracker
Methods were developed for the design of a solar powered UAV capable of tracking the sun to achieve maximum solar energy capture. A single-axis solar tracking system was designed and constructed. This system autonomously rotated an onboard solar panel to find the angle of maximum solar irradiance …

Control and Aerodynamic Design of a Solar Road Vehicle with Articulated Surfaces
… damage such as climate change. However, solar road vehicles—though designed and fabricated by some—have not reached a sufficient level to be production-worthy. The low efficiency of solar cells and the high energy demands of the average land vehicle are irreconcilable for most …

High efficiency luminescent solar concentrator with interconnected gallium indium phosphide micro solar cells
… an economically viable GaInP//Si double-junction solar cell. A process of fabricating GaInP micro solar cells and integrating them into a sparsely populated 4×4 array is presented in this work. Using wet chemistry for metallization and III-V etching, the process has to potential to be scalable and …

Wind tunnel investigation of wind load on a ground mounted photovoltaic tracker
… structures of ground mounted photovoltaic tracker systems (PVT). Current understanding of action of wind on such systems is incomplete. Over the past decade, a number of investigations devoted to this topic have been carried out. However, majority of these efforts have been of proprietary …
