Photovoltaic Autonomous Electric Charging Station

Abstract

Over the past decade, emerging technologies in the automotive sector have evolved with the integration of electric vehicles, providing a sustainable option for consumers. This approach aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and extend their extraction and consumption. This study proposes the sizing of an autonomous photovoltaic system to power an electric vehicle charging station, assessing its feasibility and profitability. Given the significance of electric vehicles in the future of transportation, exploring ways to meet their energy needs is crucial in contributing to the reduction of fossil fuels. While the theoretical project proves to be technologically feasible, analyses of areas, components, costs, and return on investment reveal that recovering the initial investment is not economically viable.
