In the present world the petroleum fuel prices are playing an important role in the development of a nation. The price of petroleum fuels are increasing drastically and it is estimated that if consumption of petroleum fuels consumed keeps on increasing with the same rate it will come to an end in next twenty five years[1]. One of major part of fuel is used in transportation and thus one of the major consumers of petroleum fuels is transportation medias. In this paper we have made an approach to develop an alternate vehicle which runs on solar energy. This the paper aims to develop a prototype for a car run by solar energy. Here we are using a special type of motor Brushless Permanent Magnet D. C. Motor (BLDC) and a microprocessor based controller to run the car. A solar powered car is an electric vehicle powered by solar energy obtained from sun and converted into usable form by solar panels on the roof of the vehicle. Photovoltaic (PV) cells in the solar pane convert the solar energy directly into electrical energy. Solar vehicles are not practically used in day to day life but they are in the experimental stage.
