Abstract
In this study, an automotive photovoltaic (PV) system was fabricated for electric vehicles. The PV panel for the PV system prototype comprises modules. Each module is equipped with a converter for maintaining maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation. This configuration allows performing the MPPT operation individually for each PV module. Furthermore, the MPPT operation performance during driving was verified. The PV system prototype maintained power generation during driving using the MPPT operation. In situations where the solar radiation varies frequently, the range of the MPPT voltage search influences the tracking achievement ratio (TAR). In addition, a TAR of 97% was achieved by optimizing the range of the MPPT voltage search.
