Despite various studies performed on the integration of PV with charging stations, few studies perform the integration of solar PV in vehicles, generally designated as PV-integrated EV. Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (I.S.E.) completed research studies on-road integrated Photovoltaics in vehicle segments ((I.S.E.), 2021).
This paper aims to address the integration of solar PV panels into electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure addresses several critical needs by enhancing sustainability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
But the short driving range has been an inconvenience to the electric vehicle (EV) users. This paper evaluates the potential of Photovoltaic integrated into EV in real-world conditions to assess energy consumption, range and EV's charging frequency for battery and fuel cell powertrain configurations.
Integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into electric vehicles (EVs) taps into the burgeoning EV market's potential, marked by BYD's lead over Tesla with a forecast of 5.5 million EVs in 2025. Europe's EV market is projected to reach 94.9% by 2035, whereas China's EV market share reached 26.7% in 2022, with a target of 40% by 2030.
Analysing these examples helps identify necessary adaptations for the seamless integration of solar-powered vehicles into energy systems. A notable example of solar EV integration is the 2019 collaboration among Toyota, Sharp and NEDO, which tested a Prius PHV equipped with high efficiency PV panels.
By integrating solar PV with EV charging stations, some of the charging demand can be met directly from solar energy, reducing the strain on the grid during peak times . Smart charging and energy storage: Integrating solar PV with EV charging infrastructure allows for the implementation of smart charging algorithms.
