Lecture

Residential Rooftop Photovoltaic Energy for Electric Cars

Description

This lecture explores the potential of using solar panels on residential rooftops to directly charge electric vehicles, aiming to reduce stress on the distribution grid. By combining GPS tracking and technical data from electric vehicle owners, the study reveals that a significant portion of the home charging demand can be met through solar power generation.
