Solarmoves: Real life irradiance and energy consumption measurements for solar mobility
report
This second report for the SolarMoves pilot project presents the progress of a real world solar irradiance measurement campaign across the EU territory, as well as validation and analysis on the modelling described in the previous report1, in which the potential contribution of Vehicle integrated PV to the energy transition was quantified at the level of a vehicle, fleet, and energy system. It was concluded that VIPV can provide a significant supplemental energy source for transportation applications in Europe. The current report focuses on the results and analyses of a large scale measurement campaign, which included available irradiance measurement, shading analysis, direct vehicle integrated or vehicle added PV contributions, and comparative energy production assessments. The data based analyses allow us to verify assumptions made in the previous report and provide insights that are crucial for assessing the viability of VIPV and guiding
future technological advancements in the field. The study aims to bridge the knowledge (and data) gap in how solar energy can be efficiently harnessed and utilized within mobile environments.
