In buses, with their large roof areas, integrated photovoltaics can provide up to 100% of the HVAC system’s energy needs, especially helpful when the engine is off. Passenger power consumption from USB ports, power outlets and Wi-Fi can also be supplied by the renewable energy source.
Apart from passenger cars, manufacturers and researchers have developed solar mobility in vehicles like urban buses , trucks , auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuk) , and minivans . However, this paper primarily focuses on solar photovoltaics implemented in passenger cars.
Utilizing solar photovoltaic energy to energize the vehicle is an exciting approach in transportation to achieve United Nations sustainable development goals (UN SDG). But the benefits are countered by several practical limitations due to the technology readiness level that hinders the adoption of VIPV technology in the commercial market.
The notion of “vehicle integrated photovoltaics” (VIPV) sparked an insight that could continuously charge the vehicle battery under outdoor conditions. A literature survey shows that extensive research in academia and industry has been carried out on VIPV technology in the recent past.
This comprehensive review of Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) reveals the detailed conception and technologies developed in passenger vehicles in the recent past. Although various studies have been carried out, the viability of using advanced photovoltaic systems and aspects of module integration in VIPV are relatively unexplored.
