Pilot project on the Bescom corporate office premises reveals that SRTPV systems offer a number of advantages in EV charging
With the transport sector widely acknowledged as a significant contributor to air pollution in cities, electric vehicles (EVs) are being deemed as a key player in helping decarbonise the sector. But what powers EVs is a question that is haunting the sector, preventing it from being termed truly green.
The Centre for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), recently conducted a pilot project on the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (Bescom) corporate office premises to demonstrate the use of clean energy to power EVs. The report, Solar Energy–Based EV Charging: A Pilot and Techno-Economic Study, indicates that solar rooftop photovoltaic (SRTPV) energy could be an economically viable option for EV charging in addition to being a green source of energy.
