Abstract

Renewable energy is a contribution to society, it cares for the environment and helps the operation of machines at low cost. The prototype was designed with low-cost materials and to operate within the Technical University of Babahoyo campus. Our primary objective is to create a solar vehicle that uses clean energy and be capable of moving people with motor disability with the utilization of a voice recognition system. Tests were carried out with a real-size prototype obtaining satisfactory results, reaching speeds up to 8 km/h on flat surfaces with operating times of approximately 60 min when there are sunlight and 20 min at night.
