Golf carts are a must for golf courses. For golf courses, having fewer golf carts can delay use due to their charging time. If the configuration of more golf carts will increase the cost. So there is no way to solve this problem? Solar golf cart is a good choice. Below we will introduce you how to build a solar golf cart and a series of questions about it.
1.1 Choose the right solar panel: Solar golf carts mainly rely on solar panels to supply power to the solar golf cart so that the solar golf cart can be used normally. So the right solar panel is crucial for the solar golf cart. You should first measure the length and width of the solar panel that can be installed on the roof of your golf cart. Then if your golf cart has a curved roof, it is recommended that you choose a flexible solar panel. If your golf cart is flat, it is recommended that you choose rigid solar panels. Choose the right wattage of solar panels based on the amount of power your golf cart needs. In addition, the weight-bearing range of your golf cart should also be considered.
1.2 Fix the solar panel on the golf cart: There are mainly bracket type fixing, sticking type fixing and clip type fixing for fixing the solar panel on the golf cart. Stent type fixing is first installed on the golf cart stent, and then the solar energy will be fixed on it, applicable to larger solar panels, higher stability. Sticky fixing is to use high strength glue to stick the solar panel directly on the roof of the car, which will reduce the load bearing of the golf cart, but the stability is not as good as the bracket type fixing, suitable for flexible solar panels. Clip type fixing uses clips to fix the solar panels directly on the roof of the car, which is more stable and easy to operate, applicable to DIY solar golf cart, but can only carry small solar panels.
1.3 Connect the solar energy system: Solar golfers do not only need solar panels, but also inverters and other equipment, you have to use wires to connect the solar panels to the solar inverter first, and then connect the solar batteries with the golf ball to form a closed circuit before the golf cart can be used.
1.4 Test whether it can be used normally: After the solar golf cart is built, you also need to test the golf solar golf cart, for example, whether the circuit is connected completely, whether the solar golf cart can be driven normally, charging problems.
Convenient charging: solar golf carts can be realized at any time charging, do not need to charge at a fixed location, and in use can still be charged, a small number of golf carts can be enough to use, reducing the cost of the golf course, for the players to bring more convenience.
Energy saving and environmental protection: solar golf carts use solar energy converted into electricity as a power source, compared to fuel golf carts, will not produce exhaust.
Low cost: Solar golf carts can be recharged wherever there is sunlight, and almost no other inputs are needed in the process of using them. However, fuel or electric golf carts require other inputs in the later stages of use.
Extend the battery life of golf carts: solar golf carts can charge the golf carts in time, the power of the cart batteries will not be over-discharged or over-charged, and the charging cycle will be shorter, so the battery life of solar golf carts will be extended.
Summarize: the steps to build a solar golf cart are relatively simple, suitable for your own DIY, of course, you can also directly buy a solar golf cart.
