Vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) represents a game-changing solution, transforming vehicles into self-sustaining power generators,
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.
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.
In general, vehicle-integrated PV designs focused on larger vehicles such as vans and buses while avoiding applications in passenger cars. This allowed the vehicle designs to use larger, flatter surfaces which provide more surface area for the array and make the PV cells easier to integrate into the vehicle body.
Two types of PV-powered applications for electric mobility are being considered at the moment: Vehicle-integrated PV (VIPV): In these applications, PV cells or PV modules are integrated into the vehicle body and produce electricity which can be used for powering the vehicle's electric engine or stored in the battery pack as shown in Figure 3.
Solar EVs offer a dual charging mechanism, enhancing energy independence and reducing reliance on traditional power grids. By harnessing solar energy directly, solar EVs could partially recharge their batteries during daylight, supplementing conventional plug-in charging methods 2.
Power market participation offers a possibility of synchronizing solar EVs with grid-scale renewable generation. Integrating solar EVs into the power market optimizes renewable generation by leveraging low or negative electricity prices during peak output, benefiting from renewables' minimal operational costs.
