ABSTRACT
The establishment of a reliable and long-lasting monitoring system is a need in today's society. Solar energy is a stable, dependable, and sustainable alternative that can pave the way to achieve this. Significant advances in the technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been observed in recent years, particularly in the field of designs that are power-efficient and enable extended surveillance missions. The objective of this paper is to discuss and analyze the benefits of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) powered by solar energy, which include reduced environmental impact, less logistical burden, and greater endurance. The study delves into the design considerations for developing solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UVAs) and emphasizes the integration of stealth features along with increased flight time and optimization of energy collection. The paper aims to offer a thorough manual for designing and building a solar-powered aircraft that is effective for surveillance applications. The versatility of the aircraft deems it appropriate for a wide range of applications, thereby increasing its usefulness and impact.
