The current low PV price is a game changer. As opposed to the 1980s, electric vehicles today have the potential to act as important new electricity consumers. With the now very low prices for pho-tovoltaic (PV) installations and solar cells, new PV and EV combinations are emerging. The DC/AC production with PV and the AC/DC-charging of EV battery with solar carports can be viewed as an established technique and an amazing economic advantage. Yet, with the low price even for highly efficient solar cells (>20% efficiency), the EV surface itself today becomes an interesting infrastruc-ture for energy production with solar cells. The research activities of the Laboratory for Photovoltaic Systems (PV LAB) at Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) in Burgdorf-Switzerland presented here seeks to quantify both infrastructure approaches (electric vehicle charging station, solar cells on e-vehicle). The project is part of the IEA Technical Collaboration Program (TCP) “Photovoltaic Power Systems PVPS” Task 17 “PV and Transportation”.
