Hello everyone,

I'm planning to build a solar go-kart. I have the structure of the kart and I'm looking for all other components. Please suggest.

I am attaching a similar structure of a solar go-kart for your reference.

This seems like a very interesting project! Here’s what you will need:
  • Motor and Controller: You will need a 48v 1000W-2000W geared BLDC motor and a compatible motor controller capable of supporting human loads.
  • Solar Panels: Depending on the voltage, select 2-4 solar panels with outputs ranging from 100W to 200W.
  • Battery Pack: 48V, 20Ah Lithium-ion or Lead-acid battery.
  • Charge Controller: Compatible with your solar panel and battery pack voltage.
  • Frame and Chassis: Choose lightweight yet durable materials like an aluminum or steel frame. You can customize the go-kart chassis.
  • Accessories: Throttle, steering, wires, connectors, etc.
I think, these are the basic requirements for a solar-powered go-kart 8-) . I am not sure about the exact speed and runtime you will get with these components. If anyone has more expertise, please share your insights
