DJH Construction, Inc. recently donated solar equipment to the E/Motion electric vehicle project at Golden West College (GWC). This solar powered trike model electric vehicle will be on display at the 2009 4th of July Huntington Beach parade. Professor Greg Wight’s transportation design students conceived and created the E/Motion electric vehicle and DJH Construction donated (3) 20 Watt YingLi Solar Modules and a 10 Amp Charge Controller. The solar modules and charge controller will be retrofitted on the hybrid (pedal/electric) trike to charge the battery using the sun’s energy. This is the first of many future prototypes that will be created by the students at GWC’s design school utilizing solar technology. Stop by our exhibit to learn more about solar powered vehicles:
