dc.description.abstractEnergy is the most valuable resource and foundation of civilization. It is also our heritage for future generations. Preserving this resource will boost technology. Solutions that previously seemed impossible or too expensive, today, are technically and economically achievable. Application of new capacity generated by renewable energy sources can make a machine workable for long time. Solar energy is most charming sources of energy as it is have no price. Solar energy, on the other hand can be important because this energy is infinite. The solar energy received by earth in one hour is more than world’s annual energy consumption. World attention to solar energy has risen. Solar radiations are converted to electrical energy with the usage of solar cells although this electrical energy varies in power with the respect of radiations absorbed by a solar cells array. The plane is built by keeping in mind that it has to carry (400) grams of pay load and still it should not disturb aerodynamics of plane for this purpose we designed a plane with (120) inch wingspan in light weight balsa wood and reinforced with carbon fiber and fiber glass to make sure that wings do not feel too much flex during flight controls. Network synchronization issues areexamined and a suitable voltage regulation plan is proposed. Two arrays of solar cells was paste on top of the wings to get the desire voltage and current from the solar cells. This electrical energy shift in switch compartment of fuselage where a flight controller decides to transfer this energy in DC to DC booster or in solar ESC by servo switches which is controlled by receiver signals of plane. The solar ESC is configure and programmed according to the power requirement. Network synchronization issues are examined and a suitable voltage regulation plan is proposed. On the other hand (94.5%) efficient booster produce enough voltage for (MPPT) solar charge controller to charge a (22.2) volt (4) amps battery. To avoid sparking or over heating silicone wires used in fuselage with heat shrinks covered on each joints. The (MPPT) solar charge controller has features to charge battery, prevent overcharge, high speed power tracking, and temperature sensor to avoid overheating. The battery is li ion with (25 C) discharge rate capacity which can provide burst current when needed. (360) kva (22.2) volt brushless AC motor with (24) poles used to rotate (17) inch carbon fiber prop with (7.5) pitch and (6000) rpm to get desired thrust. (80) Amps (26) volt ESC is chosen to drive this power train for maximum power during landing and takeoff. The ESC is programmed for rpm, timing mode, system voltage cut off and throttle calibration to fly for longer duration of time. DC is transformed into AC for AC motor and it has built in (BEC) to power on receiver on 5 volt. Six channel RC receiver is attached with servo switches and servo motors to control radar and elevators of plane. To full fill the demand of area for solar cells and stability of plane stabilizer was built with solid (6*24 ½) inch balsa sheet.en_US
