Development Set Solar Energy Bike of Electric Generator for Household

Abstract

              This research aims to development of set solar energy bike for electric generator in household use and compare of electricity production. The 64 cm width, 180 cm length and 80 cm height of bike 3 wheels was installed with 700 watts (350 watts x 2 panel of DC motor) and 150 watts of solar cell has kept electrical current into the 40 amperes battery. The production of electricity has been tested in 1 hour, cycling with a steady 15-20 Kilometers per hour generates electricity by an average of 10 percent of battery capacity. The electricity has been produced from the solar panel up to 10 percent of battery capacity and solar energy bike with up to 15 percent of battery capacity. The electricity storage from using the two systems working together has 31.25 percent of efficiency higher than using only cycling or solar energy alone and it could store electricity in batteries within 5.30 hours. The cyclists have health benefit and this system could generate electricity for household usage.
