The power production efficiency of solar panels installed on the vehicles

Abstract

The energy is a major factor in the economic development of many countries. However, the energy from fossils began to decline gradually. Therefore, renewable energy is an important part that can help reduce the use of fossil energy, especially in transportation systems that use a lot of energy. This article focuses on studying the power production efficiency of solar panels installed on the vehicles. The energy production of solar panels installed on vehicles was compared with the energy on solar panels installed on the ground with 80 W solar panels. The results show that the efficiency of solar panels installed on vehicles is 65.5% and the solar panels installed on the ground are more efficient at 90.37%. Indicating that the installation of solar panels on vehicles causes the efficiency of electricity production to decrease. The movement of vehicles and shadows is obscured; therefore, the efficiency of energy production was reduced. However, the planning for the installation of photovoltaic power generation systems on electric vehicles must be well planned in order to have sufficient energy for service.
