A country like India receives huge amount of solar energy equivalent to some trillions of kWh/year, which is far more than the total energy consumption of the country. But solar energy is being used in India mostly for heating water & few lighting purposes. In order to promote its usage, Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency and the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources are formulating a programme to have solar energy in more than a million applications in the next few years. This project is a sincere attempt to join them. This project gives us another perspective for the effective utilisation of this energy to the maximum extent, using the solar panel tilting mechanism, and storing the same in a battery. In turn, the same energy is used to drive the ambulance to the hospital. Along with this, patient‟s body temperature is monitored and transmitted to the hospital unit with the help of the transmitter. In addition to the above features, this project provides a utility for patients who cannot walk, by providing musical tone which motivates them to walk and helps in stimulating the nerve cells. An intelligent blind stick is another feature which helps blind people.
