Abstract
This paper presents the application of solar energy to charge battery for electric vehicle. The principle is to use solar cells as a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy. This work uses a PWM battery charge regulator to provide 24 Vdc voltage, which has a battery protection circuit when charging until the voltage is higher than 26 Vdc. The test results showed that a fully charged battery is used to power an electric vehicle with a user weight of 60 kg. The electric vehicle can be driven at speeds of 16 kilometers per hour for 12 minutes continuously. Because this electric vehicle does not use fossil fuels as a power source, so it reduces pollution to the environment.
