This project concerns a vehicle, the “Solar and Wind Power Electrical Vehicle,” whose operation is controlled using IoT. The principal purpose is to use renewable forces for vehicle movement. There is an ESP32 microcontroller that connects to two electric engines and a motor driver enabling precise commands in the structure. Furthermore, the car consists of a solar battery panel and a wind turbine providing sustainable and ecological energy production. Our main objective is to build a car that uses no oil or gas at all since it can run on something more unconventional, such as solar power, wind energy, etc.; thus, the focus of this project is on creating a green car that will not use fuel made from fossil fuels like petrol or diesel while making sure that it works using only sustainable sources of energy available today. The motor driving system integrates the ESP32 module into the motor speed adjustment circuit (MSAC), which acts as an electronic hub for both motor control signals and serial communication codes between the motor and the CPU (central processing unit) on a single chip. Remote car control using just your phone is possible because IoT connects it. When connected, the driver can have control over each motor's direction individually such that they are interconnected with the two motors by default on the driver circuit board (or the relation may occur by default). Consequently, the vehicle gets an increased capacity for navigating various surfaces more effectively this way—The two engines act as an independent supposing of its configuration. If you want it to move off the road or even on hilly ground, this car would do so easily because there is a mechanism that makes it easier for her to move on such surfaces. It is equipped with a solar panel and wind turbine, allowing the car to be powered by renewable energy from its environment. During the day, the sun charging system converts sunlight into electricity, whereas during the night the wind generator creates power from wind when there is some wind. The stored energy can be preserved in accumulators.
