SOLAR Photovoltaic to MOVE for
Systems Integration
The SOLAR-MOVE project aims to contribute to the massive adoption of electric vehicles (EVs)
minimizing their impact in the power grid by proposing solutions for different Vehicles Integrated
Photovoltaic (VIPV) ecosystems: i) VIPV in cities, ii) VIPV in residential and service buildings, iii) VIPV
in passenger transportation and iv) VIPV in highways. The SOLAR-MOVE will follow three
maintargets: i) increase the range of the VIPV in 5 to 10 km/day compared to normal EVs; ii) reduce
the dependency on the grid (energy provided by the grid) from 20 to 50 %, depending on the ecosystem; and iii) create solutions with positive Net Present Value. To achieve these goals the
consortium – comprised by 34 partners across 16 countries – will develop innovative VIPV solutions,
including tools to be integrated in VIPV; VIPV prototypes (Heavy-duty vehicles with PV in the trailer,
garbage trucks, passenger buses, last-mile delivery and motorhome); VIPV Use Optimisation
solutions to maximise the range of the VIPVs; and ePIPV (charging stations with PVs) for diverse
applications (in highways, opportunity charging for eBus, ePIPVs at municipality level, public ePIPV in
commercial areas and private ePIPVs). The solutions will be demonstrated in six pilots across
Denmark (VIPV:heavy Duty vehiles, ePIPV parking lot for trucks in highways), Greece (VIPV: Garbage
Truck, ePIPV: Management of ePIPV at municipality level), Turkey (VIPV: Passenger Bus, ePIPV:
Management of ePIPV Opportunity charging), Portugal (VIPV: Last mile delivery, ePIPV: Management
of public ePIPV), Albania (ePIPV; Management of private ePIPV) and Slovenia (VIPV:Motorhome).
The findings will contribute to the elaboration of policy recomendations to support the adoption of VIPV
and ePIPV, guidelines for municipalities to simplify the procurement process for VIPS and ePIPVs
solutions and regulatory frameworks and incentives to facilitate the mass deployment of these
technologies.
