Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV): Flexible solar modules for more power

Vehicle Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) is the mechanical, electrical and design integration of photovoltaic modules in vehicles. The PV modules fit seamlessly into the vehicle shell and are connected to electrical consumers or the drive battery in electric vehicles. What potential lies dormant in VIPV? Where is VIPV already being used? And what are currently still the biggest hurdles? Dr. Martin Heinrich, Head of Group Encapsulation and Integration at Fraunhofer ISE and Chairman of the PV in Motion Conference, tells us. Timeline: 2.38: What can we expect from this kind of photovoltaik modules? 4.32: How far off are we from this beeing ready for mass production? 7.21: What are the biggest difficulties or challenges of VIPV? 12.50: Are there some regulatory issues that need to be adressed?
