Abstract

Conventional energy resources are depleting very fast and to meet the global energy demand, the scarcity of these resources is the most crucial factor in the present era. One of the major contributors to carbon emissions is transportation sector which survives mostly on conventional energy resources. In the Indian context, the transportation sector contributes about 18% of CO2 emissions of total emissions. To decarbonize this sector, the vehicles utilizing renewable resources such as solar PV technology would be a sustainable step. Solar energy which is abundant in nature and present everywhere can prove to be a great alternative to conventional resources. In the present study, solar PV technology is integrated with electric and hybrid vehicles. Additional literature review of solar electric vehicles including three-wheeled as well as four-wheeled is carried out. Autonomous vehicles and robots utilizing PV technology are also studied and presented. Finally, the foremost barriers and challenges to adopting PV technology in electric and autonomous vehicles are identified and presented.
