Solar Freaks

So im making a rc solar car for a school project. Im going to use a rc10 car with everything on it. I just wanna kinda add a solar cell to the top of it. Could someone tell me what kinda of voltage and amps i would need for the car to run right?

Aim for over 10 volts at 1-2 amps, then use an MPPT.

Could I Use Solar Cells That Produce 12v And 3amps With Out Using A MPPT?

And Im New To Making This, So I Really Dont Know Exactly What Im Doing...
I Just Have To Make A RC Car That Runs Off Of Solar Power

I was going to try and use solar cells that put out .5V and 3.6 amps. connected in series i can get up to 18V cus i have 36 of them. is there any way i could just put jumper wires to where the battery goes on a RC10 car and run it off of solar power? i only have about 3 weeks to finish making this car and it a graduation project so it has to be done. I have the full RC10 car, and just need to buy a remote. so i wanna do this as simple as possible, and im not trying to make it supper fast like the ones u guys have (that comes latter), lol now im just tryin to graduate. so is there any way to do it like that? if u have any good ideas plz do tell!!

i strongly agree with Tony here, 10 volts at 1-2 amps would be enough.. But you can search online for more info's about that.

That's a good question you have there. I believe you just need to get car parts such an alternator and aim for over 10 volts.

Its always good to try something new, that will help us to get more idea and inspiration for trying new products in life. and I think you will get all the information you require from the Google.

my initial motor was a inrunner 2100kv motor and cogging was an issue. The 1100kv motor outrunner works better for my current setup. If I mount a tiny gearbox like some airplanes use, I could go with another innrunner that didn't cog. generic cialis
