MODELLING OF THE AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY FALLING ON THE PANEL OF SOLAR CAR ALONG THE ROAD

R.G.Gardashov, R.M.Mammadov

Abstract. The model developed for calculation of the amount of the solar energy falling on the panel of solar car is presented. The input parameters of the model are characteristics which: 1) define the Sun posi­tion in sky (instant of time and geographical co­ordinates: latitude, longitude and height from sea level to the point at road): 2) determine the road slope; 3) de­fine optical state of the atmosphere. Main output of model is the amount of solar energy falling on the solar car for any instant of time and position of car. The program packet which realizes this model will be the basic part of the navigation system of solar cars and will provide their optimal managing.
