Abstract

As a specific embodiment of the application of photovoltaic (solar) cells, the author has been engaged for 15 years in the development of electric vehicles charged by photovoltaic cells. This paper describes results of these developments. In this system, main photovoltaic cells were installed on the roof of a private house, and sub-photovoltaic cells were mounted on the roof of an electric vehicle. Electric energy thus obtained was used in charging a secondary battery mounted on the electric vehicle. Flexible, light and thin film a-Si photovoltaic cells were developed. These cells can be stuck to a curved surface and hence applied to solar battery cars.
