Electric-powered wheelchair with solar cell and single axis tracker

Alwaeli, Ali H.

Wheelchairs are important tools to assist seniors and people with disabilities in mobility. Manual wheelchairs present some difficulties, while electric-wheelchairs help by providing mobility to the user without need for physical effort. This paper aims to introduce single axis tracking with solar system for increase power production to assist electric-powered wheelchairs. In addition, different designs were proposed to allow user access various functions such as illumination, monitor holding etc. A load profile was made to correspond with proposed system tools. Intuitive method was used to size the solar system to supply 1471.5 Ampere-hour per day. The solar panel size is 150 W, inverter of 250W with a nominal voltage battery of 24 V.
