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.},
