| Abstract | The harvesting of solar energy has gained much impetus in recent years as part of the solutions to tackle the ever increasing global energy demand amid the increasing threats from climate change and pollution issues. Its large scale deployment, similar to the situation of electric vehicles (EVs), has many advantages but also is facing many challenges at the same time. Nevertheless, promoting the application of both solar energy and EVs is probably one of the ways to resolve some problems that we are facing worldwide. In this chapter, the basic ideas about the means to harvest solar energy, and the ways to harvest it specifically for EVs shall be described. The appropriate type of solar energy – photovoltaic (PV) will be introduced and the respective electrical characteristics and performance will be explained by referring to a mathematical model developed. Finally two case studies shall be presented for illustrating the practical application of harvesting solar energy for vehicles. |
