Abstract

This report details the design and implementation of an electric-solar vehicle, focusing on the fabrication and testing of its inverter. The inverter, a crucial component for efficient power conversion, was developed to optimize the integration of solar energy with an electric motor drive. This report focuses on the practical aspects of the inverter's construction and performance evaluation.

The design considerations are outlined, followed by a detailed description of the component selection, PCB fabrication, and assembly. Performance testing results, demonstrating the inverter's efficiency and suitability for the vehicle, are also
included.
