ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
A few words of gratitude written on single sheet of paper can never
completely describe our feeling of indebtedness to the people involved in the
successful completion of Design & Fabrication Project.
First and foremost we would like to thank the almighty for his blessing to
complete the Design & Fabrication Project work successfully in time.
We are very thankful to our Honorable Chairman Mr. J.DEVADAS
NAYAGAM M.Sc., M.Ed., for his infrastructure and timely help throughout the
course of the Design & Fabrication Project.
We express our thanks to our respectful Principal Dr.I.S. STEPHAN
THANGAIAH Ph.D., for his valuable ideas, suggestions for improvement and his
encouragement rendered for completing our Design & Fabrication Project.
We very sincerely express our thanks to the Head of the Department
Mr. S.KARTHIKM.S., for his cheerful encouragement and timely help throughout
the course of the Design & Fabrication Project.
We express our deep sense of gratitude to our Project Coordinator Mr.
N.TAMIL SELVAM M.E., & our Project Supervisor Mr. M. VIJAYARAJ
M.E.,who sincerely coordinated all of us to perform our Design & Fabrication
Project in the successful way.
We also thank our Friends&Well-wishers, who were inspiring & stimulating
us for the successful completion of our Design & Fabrication Project Parents,
Friends & all the staff members for providing facilities and constant encouragement
for our Design & Fabrication Project work.
Last but not the least, we whole heartedly thanks our Parents for showing
unrestrained Love & affection even during the hardship caused to them on the
account of this work of ours.

ABSTRACT
The use of fossil fuels to power industrial vehicles and such to transport goods,
equipments, tools, etc. from one industrial plant to another is conventional and has
several disadvantages such as cost of fuel and being non eco-friendly.
The SOLAR AIDED INDUSTRIAL TROLLEY allows us to transport all the

above mentioned things without polluting the environment and at zero fuel cost, not
only that, it also saves non-renewable resources through the use of renewable solar
energy harnessed from the Sun.
The system uses solar power to charge the battery, energy from the battery is used
to drive the trolley. The trolley can be used indoor as well as outdoor with extensive
application possible outdoors, but we are focusing mostly on the indoor application
of the system.
