Abstract :
This work presents the development of a generic platform, a photovoltaic electric vehicle, used as a base structure by students from an Electronics undergrad program to integrate knowledge. The main goal of the project is the development of some special characteristics over an unmanned photovoltaic electric vehicle. The results of three semesters using the platform are presented and discussed in this paper.
