Abstract

A car-roof photovoltaic has enormous potential to change our society. With this technology, 70% of a car can run on the solar energy collected by the solar panel on its roof. Unfortunately, it is not a simple extension of conventional photovoltaic technology. This paper lists what we need to do to achieve the goal of running a majority of cars on renewable solar energy, after clarification of the difference to conventional photovoltaic technology. In addition to technological development, standardization will be important and this list was made highlighting standardization.

Highlights

  • The recent development of electric vehicles (EVs) (Electric vehicle) and plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV) (Plug-in hybrid vehicle) related automobile technology opens the door to the “solar-engine car”

  • With the effort of developing technology for car-roof irradiation prediction, which is necessary of the for the car-energy management system, the severe challenge to the solar energy prediction for the management system, challengetotothe thesolar solar energy prediction of the forcar-energy the car-energy management system,the the severe severe challenge energy prediction the three-dimensional and moving coordinates will create the opportunity to improve the of accuracy of three-dimensional and moving coordinates will create the opportunity to improve the accuracy of PV

  • It is the research and development that was clarified in the previous section

Summary

Introduction

We may see a significant increase in a surprising combination of PV (photovoltaic) and passenger cars. The recent development of EV (Electric vehicle) and PHV (Plug-in hybrid vehicle) related automobile technology opens the door to the “solar-engine car” When this happens, or to make it real, car-roof PV should not be blue-black, but vivid colors are often seen in the car body. Toyota Motor started to sell a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV) with a 180 W solar panel made by Panasonic that expected to contribute to the energy source for the car engine in 2016 [2]. This movement was observed in other car companies in 2016, including Fisker Karma [3], Hanergy [4], Sono Motors [5,6], and Stella Lux [7]. Known as a major supplier of electric vehicles (EVs), mentions the necessity
