      abstract     = {We present an analysis of the performance data of a
                      monitored PV system onboard a light commercial electric
                      vehicle during parking and driving conditions in the
                      Hannover region of Germany. The PV system's nominal power is
                      2180 WP with flat silicon modules on the vehicle's roof,
                      rear, left, and right sides and other electronic components
                      needed to charge the vehicle's high-voltage (HV) battery.
                      The analysis indicated that after 488.92 h of operation,
                      the modules mounted on the vehicle roof produced 133.32 kWh
                      of electricity during parking at the best possible
                      orientation compared to 15.4, 30.67, and 22.99 kWh for the
                      modules mounted on the rear, left, and right sides,
                      respectively. During the trips, after 31.99 h of
                      operation, 6.12, 0.68, 1.08, and 1.86 kWh of electricity
                      were produced by the modules on the roof, rear, left, and
                      right sides, respectively. The overall system efficiency was
                      in the $60\%–65\%$ range. The aggregated usable
                      electricity reaching the HV battery after multiple
                      conversion stages generated by the system at the two parking
                      locations was 129.39 kWh. PV electricity generated at the
                      two parking locations enabled a range extension of
                      approximately 530 km, which is $30\%$ of the total
                      distance driven during the measurement period between April
                      and July 2021.},
