Shadow-aware route planning for vehicle-integrated photovoltaics

Japanese researchers have proposed a method for future vehicle-integrated photovoltaic route planning. It integrates environmental shading effects based on satellite and geographic information system data.A research team from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan proposed a method to estimate shadow effects on vehicles equipped with integrated solar PV-based geographic information system (GIS) models and satellite data. The estimates for the study area located in Fukushima City, Japan, were found to be in line with real-world vehicle-integrated photovoltaic ...
