In this paper, it has been theoretically and conceptually examined the techni-
cal, design, and economic viability of using Photovoltaic (PV) technology
in combination with battery operated Electric vehicle (EV) in Public Bus
sector in India, where solar energy is readily available. The study is further
analyzed to propose the utilization and economics of “PV integrated EV”
technology along with solar and battery integrated solution. The available
battery chemistries are studied, and the best suited solution based on parame-
ters such as cost, weight NMC battery is chosen. Finally, the number of solar
panel and battery requirement is calculated based on the power consumption
of the vehicle and concluded.
