ABSTRACT Nonuniformity of irradiation in photovoltaic (PV) modules causes a current mismatch the cells, which leads to energy losses. In context vehicle‐integrated PV (VIPV), nonuniformity is typically studied for self‐shading effect caused by curvature modules. This study uncovers impact topography on distribution sunlight vehicle surfaces, focusing two distinct scenarios: flat‐surface cargo area small delivery truck and entire body commercial passenger vehicle. We employ commuter pattern driving profile Germany broader analysis incorporating random sampling various road types locations across 17,000 km 2 Europe 59,000 United States using LIDAR‐derived OpenStreetMap data. Our findings quantify inhomogeneity patterns shaped geographic landscape, configurations, urban planning, vegetation. The research identifies as primary factor affecting uniformity, with vehicle's surface orientation serving secondary influencers. most significant variation occurs vertical surfaces residential areas, lower parts receiving up 35% less than top part car. These insights may be used improve design efficiency systems, optimizing capture diverse environmental conditions.

This study reviewed 19 papers on solar electric vehicles (SEVs) published by Korean research institutions and analyzed their trends. The collected were categorized into five main topics: vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) systems, system integration, control strategies, performance estimation, market environmental assessment. Research VIPV systems focused lightweight design adaptability to curved surfaces, while studies strategies emphasized parking space optimization route planning. System integration highlighted efficient energy management between batteries modules, estimation explored GIS-based assessments of potential. However, assessment remains limited. Future should explore new areas such as car racing, advanced vehicle design, optimized powertrain expand SEV applications. Additionally, active participation in international conferences standardization initiatives is essential enhance the global competitiveness Korea.

The concern for sustainability, understood as the responsible use of natural resources to ensure well-being future generations, has grown across various sectors. One main drivers environmental degradation is fossil-fuel-based transportation, which produces pollutant emissions and contributes climate change. In this context, electric cars have emerged a smart sustainable alternative, they do not emit polluting gases and, when powered by renewable energy sources such photovoltaics, can significantly reduce carbon footprint. Based on concept, it noted that are an intelligent alternative caused fossil fuels. generation electricity from sources, biogas others, combined with low maintenance costs long service life these technologies, represents extremely solution. work, methodologies applied sizing analysis cost through photovoltaic energy. operational car being fueled provided source utility grid compared internal combustion engine also considered.

It concluded return investment generated approximately 5 years. annual 76.49% lower using concessionaires Brazil 81.35% plants vehicle, considering harm environment technology. These data emphasize importance looking technological solutions adapt production systems, above all, help mitigate impact environment, reflecting commitment our planet quality generations.
