Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to an electric axle for a self-powered tractor. The system (100) includes a chassis (101), a battery (103), a power conversion and controller unit (105), a solar panel canopy (201), an electric motor (107), and a differential (109). The power conversion and controller unit (105) includes a power converter unit (311) and a speed controller (309). The power converter unit (311) further includes a battery charger (301) and a converter (303). The speed controller (309) receives the accelerator position signal from the operator and operates the converter (303) to control the speed of the electric motor (107). This invention offers a tractor a self-powered and eco-friendly solution.
