Photovoltaic Charging, Solar EV Infrastructure, Battery Energy Storage, Off-Grid Power System, Renewable Energy Integration, Sustainable TransportationAbstract
Independently of the power grid, drawing clean energy directly from sunlight while ensuring uninterrupted charging even when solar energy is unavailable. This project demonstrates a compact, standalone photovoltaic-based electric vehicle (EV) charging station that integrates direct solar charging and battery-assisted charging within a single system. The design showcases how solar energy can be efficiently captured, stored, and utilized to supply EV loads in a controlled and reliable manner. The complete energy flow and operation of the system are explained through the following stages.
