  • Abstract
    This paper contains improvements brought to a mini vehicle propelled by solar energy. These consist in monitoring the following: battery level whilst charging via solar panel or electricity grid, solar panel temperature, mileage and speed. The performance of the mini vehicle consists in minimizing of costs and, of course, resources and development of a new mini vehicle control system that can monitor and store information on consumption and technical state.
