“…A quantitative assessment of the contribution of solar energy is needed when carrying out a cost-benefit analysis of the design of a solar powered vehicle. The research carried out in this matter [40] demonstrated that the roof panel of the FIAT Punto passenger car (Fig. 7) reached a maximum output of 165 W on a sunny summer day, while the panel on the front hood reached a total power of 75 W (Fig.…”

As awareness regarding ecology increases among drivers, some characteristics of electric vehicles mean that they attract a greater interest. The basic factors determining the demand for electric cars include their pricing, access to charging stations and the cost per 1 kWh. Considering the above, the aim of this paper is to review the current areas of research into renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy and energy derived from vertical displacements of the car body associated with road roughness. The use of such solutions will allow the battery to be charged while the vehicle is in motion and extend the time of travel without stopping the vehicle for charging. The publication forms an overview of findings in the area and the scope of the research reported here relate to the most recent research. For this purpose, reviews of academic and industrial literature were carried out.

“…On the other hand, solar panels may reach temperatures up to 65°C [3]. When the temperature of the cells changes, the power output changes, and the efficiency fluctuates due to the temperature difference [4]. The quantity of solar irradiation reaching its surface dramatically impacts the amount of power produced.…”

The tracking system that uses for PV solar systems has a vital role to improve the energy performance of the solar panel. In the present study, the performance of both the fixed PV solar system and single -axis tracking PV solar system is investigated experimentally. The power for each PV solar panel is 150 W. The performances of the two systems are compared to display the efficient improvement of a single-axis solar tracking (SAST) system with fixed solar (FS) system under the climate conditions in the Zakho/ Kurdistan region/ Iraq. A mechanical tracking device with a controller and linear actuator was designed, and its performance was comprehensively investigated with a PV system. The findings for a sunny day due to the use of a single axis tracking system with a solar panel as compared with those of a fixed panel, that the enhancement in the overall power generation and electrical efficiency are about 28 % and 29 %, respectively.

“…Studies on vehicle‐integrated PV showed that the speed of the vessel should not be neglected when the effective wind speed on the PV module is calculated. [ 14 ] Moreover, the load on a vessel changes its sinking depth and thus installation height of the PV modules alters with respect to the raised horizon around the vessel. This effect is almost unimportant for open seas but should be considered when a vessel is cruising inland, where landscape, buildings, vegetation, etc.…”

Despite a drop during the COVID pandemic, the CO 2 emission from transportation has increased again. Globally, transportation emitted 8.5 Gton of CO 2 in 2019, [1] which accounts for 14% of CO 2 emissions, including water-based transportation. [2] Waterbased transportation emits % 2% of the global CO 2 . [1] Several subsectors of transportation, such as trucks and buses, aviation, and shipping, are not on track with meeting the global targets. Only EVs are growing rapidly but no direct impact on CO 2 reduction has been observed yet [3] as EVs are charged by grid electricity that is still dominated by fossil fuels. This imposes the necessity to introduce renewable energy, both in the grid and onboard vehicles, to achieve the actual reduction of CO 2 . [4] Large transportation vehicles, such as trailers and vessels, benefit from relatively large areas, where conventional photovoltaic (PV) technologies can be integrated. [5][6][7] Therefore, to make the transportation sector more sustainable, the surface of vessels can also be used for onboard PV module installation.The Netherlands has the largest fleet in Europe, making up 38.4% of the European shipping fleet. [8] As the largest European fleet, the Dutch inland shipping industry aims to be climate neutral and emissionfree by 2050. To meet this goal, the propulsion of the inland shipping vessels needs to change from diesel-powered to dieselelectric (short term), battery-electric (medium term), and hydrogen-fuel cell (long term). [9] The inland fleet consists of 5060 vessels, with various types, such as general cargo vessels. [10] General cargo vessels seem to be suitable for the implementation of PV modules. There are a couple of advantages of these vessel types that make them suitable for the implementation of PV modules. These ships have little equipment installed on top of their deck. General cargo ships have a relatively large surface area that is only used to store goods, the hold, which can be smartly integrated with PV modules (see Figure 1 as an example). Above this hold, PV modules can be integrated. All ships of this type look similar. The ship is designed as rectangular as possible, to be able to transport as many goods as possible onboard. The wheelhouse is located at the back, before that there is the hold of the vessel. After the vessel's hold, there is a small part that contains the necessary equipment, such as anchors and cranes. From the complete inland shipping fleet, 79% of the vessels are general cargo inland vessels. [10] As electric vessels have batteries onboard, one can envision a fleet of urban vessels as a fleet of small PV power plants that supply power to the electrical grid whenever needed. Decentralized energy production will also lower the power losses due to less transmission. The same applies to electric cars or future solar cars.However, assessing the PV power that a vehicle can produce is challenging. [11] Unlike a stationary PV plant, modules on a vehicle move around and their ambient and surrounding changes.
