Abstract -The design and analysis of a solar power cart for in-house applications using ANSYS software is presented in this paper. The solar power cart is a portable, self-contained unit equipped with solar panels, batteries, and power electronics, designed to provide a renewable energy source for various in-house applications. The objective of this study is to analyze the structural integrity and thermal performance of the solar power cart using ANSYS simulation tools. The structural analysis focuses on evaluating the cart's mechanical strength and durability under various loading conditions, including static and dynamic loads. Finite element analysis (FEA) is used to simulate the structural behavior of the cart's components, such as the frame, wheels, and mounting structures, to ensure they can withstand the operational loads. The thermal analysis investigates the heat distribution and dissipation within the cart to prevent overheating of the components and optimize the overall thermal performance. ANSYS Fluent is employed to simulate the airflow and heat transfer mechanisms, enabling the design of effective cooling systems and thermal management strategies. The results of the design and analysis are used to optimize the solar power cart's performance, efficiency, and reliability for in-house applications. The proposed design demonstrates the feasibility of using ANSYS software for the design and analysis of renewable energy systems, providing valuable insights for future research and development in this field..
