According to a new study from Japan, the global installed PV capacity in solar-powered EVs may reach up to 50 GW by 2030. Its authors claim that solar cells with efficiencies higher than 30%, including multijunction III-V cells and III-V cells combined with silicon cells, are the best candidates for applications in the automotive sector due to the limited space of electric car rooftops. However, a series of technical and economic challenges must still be addressed.Researchers from Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corporation, electronics manufacturer Sharp and the New Energy and Industrial Technology ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
