Abstract

Due to the harsh effects of fossil fuels on the world, researchers are paying more attention to the application of new energy sources. This paper explores the possibility to support electric vehicles with solar energy by demonstrating the design of a solar cooling system and a solar parking lot in a large flat area and workspace. The use of solar energy in electric vehicles can help control some systems such as cooling systems. Solar panels are used in some large flat parking area to collect and invert solar energy for parking electric vehicles’ charging. Solar panels are able to help charge electric vehicles during the workday by setting them on the surface of working area. However, due to the limitations of solar energy, solar panels are very much in need of good weather and direct sunlight. Therefore, solar energy cannot be the only source to support other powered vehicles. In the future, developments in other areas such as inverters and converters, solar panels, and nanotechnology may make the use of solar energy in green energy vehicles possible.
