Abstract


A solar-based EV charging station is a type of electric vehicle (EV) charging station that utilizes solar energy to power the charging process. The station includes solar panels, which convert sunlight into electrical energy and an inverter to convert the DC electricity produced by the solar panels into AC electricity that can be used to charge EVs. The system also includes batteries to store excess energy for use when the sun is not shining. Solar-based EV charging stations are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional grid-powered charging stations and can help reduce carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. They also offer a reliable and sustainable energy source for EV owners, particularly in remote or off-grid locations. However, the initial cost of installing a solar-based EV charging station can be high, and factors such as location, climate, and demand for charging services need to be considered when planning and designing the station.
