The Solar Based Wheelchair for Disabled (SBWCD) is a groundbreaking project aimed at enhancing mobility and independence for individuals with disabilities by harnessing the power of solar energy. Traditional wheelchairs often rely on manual propulsion or battery-powered motors, which can be limiting in terms of range, accessibility to charging stations, and environmental impact. In response to these challenges, the SBWCD project introduces a novel approach by integrating solar panels into the design of wheelchairs to harness solar energy and convert it into electrical power for propulsion. This innovative solution offers numerous benefits, including extended range, reduced reliance on grid electricity, and decreased carbon footprint. The SBWCD features a lightweight and durable frame equipped with high-efficiency solar panels mounted on the backrest and armrests, maximizing exposure to sunlight while maintaining user comfort and ergonomics. The solar panels are connected to an onboard battery system, which stores excess energy generated during daylight hours for use during periods of low sunlight or at night. This hybrid power system ensures continuous operation of the wheelchair regardless of environmental conditions, providing users with greater autonomy and freedom of movement. Moreover, the SBWCD is designed with user-centric features and accessibility in mind. Adjustable seating, armrests, and footrests accommodate users of varying sizes and preferences, while ergonomic controls and intuitive interfaces ensure ease of operation for individuals with limited mobility or dexterity. Additionally, safety features such as anti-tip mechanisms, seat belts, and obstacle detection systems enhance user confidence and mitigate risks associated with wheelchair use in diverse environments. In summary, the Solar Based Wheelchair for Disabled (SBWCD) project represents a significant advancement in assistive technology, offering a sustainable and user-friendly solution for indi
