Abstract

With the increasing demand for sustainable transportation solutions, electric vehicles (EVs) have gained significant popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. However, the widespread adoption of EVs is still hindered by limited charging infrastructure and concerns about the environmental impact of electricity generation. This research project focuses on the development of a Solar Charging Station (SCS) tailored specifically for EVs. The primary objective is to design an efficient and environmentally sustainable charging system that utilizes solar energy as its primary power source. The SCS integrates state-of-the-art photovoltaic panels, energy storage systems, and advanced power management techniques to optimize energy capture, storage, and delivery to EVs. The primary objective of this research is to develop a solar charging station inside the IMU Chennai Campus for PHASE 2 of its EV project that maximizes energy utilization, minimizes grid dependency and ensures optimal charging performance for EVs.
