For physically challenged individuals the most basic expression of freedom would be the ability to be mobile. Modern medical science being highly advanced designed a device of help for physically challenged individuals, called the wheelchair. The market provides a vast assortment of options in a wheelchair to fulfill the desired need and requirements of the consumer. To make the system energy efficient we have designed a solar wheelchair in which solar power is used. This keen wheelchair is additionally fitted with a leg guard for the safety of the legs. In addition, we have added a mechanism that allows our solar panel to fold and settle at a safe place, or in other terms, Solar Wheelchair with a foldable panel. All our effort has been in the direction, to make this solar-induced wheelchair at an affordable cost along with having an optimal utilization in the external as well as the internal environment. KEYWORDS: Assistive device, Electric mode, Foldable solar panel, Solar Powered Wheelchair.

In this paper, the design and application of smart wheelchair and charging station for disabled citizen is realized. The first stage of the paper is to make the wheelchair used by our disabled citizens able to access smart home technology via the vehicle via touch screen. The ability of citizens with disabilities to call with direct access via touch screen is also in the wheelchair designed. Thanks to the touch screen placed on the vehicle, disabled citizens are provided with the control of smart automation to control many objects such as curtains and doors in the home. In the second part of the paper, a solar powered charging station is designed and installed in order to charge battery powered wheelchairs. In the charging station made a special card reader system and has the charger to charge the card with disabilities to actively and means are provided.
