Expert survey on technical requirements of PV-powered passenger vehicles
report
Following on from the previously published PVPS Task 17 technical report ‘State of the art and expected benefits of VIPV’ this report presents an overview of the technical requirements and challenges for successful adoption of VIPV technology. As VIPV grows in interest as a topic, a survey of world experts to gain insights into what the community considers important in the transition of VIPV from niche to a mainstream and accepted technological application was conducted by TNO (The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research). The survey, in which 110 experts in this field were asked about various aspects of VIPV, provided valuable insights into what areas are important for the adoption of VIPV, and what these experts believe users may be prepared to sacrifice in PV yield to achieve a preferred
result in the aesthetics of the vehicle. The choice to survey VIPV experts of course means that the results may be biased in favour of VIPV technology and not representative of the general preferences of car buyers or early adopters. However, these experts do have extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of VIPV, and so the responses are very well informed.
