Climate control utilizing solar powered ventilation system for parked car

The heating phenomenon produces by hot weather caused the car’s compartment to gain the heat from the surrounding and the sunlight radiation, while inside the compartment will have a higher temperature compared to the outside surroundings. The high heat trapped in the enclose compartment will bri...
