Project Idea: Add a solar panel with an MPPT (maximum power point tracking) controller and lithium ion batteries to a golf cart, then compare to traditional lead acid and other market options. Controller (Pi) will match the panel voltage to battery voltage through a DC/DC converter to maximize power.
