High time resolution measurement of solar irradiance onto driving car body for vehicle integrated photovoltaics

Gustav Wetzel et al.

Summary: VIPV systems in vehicles have different requirements for maximum power tracking compared to stationary setups, with changes in irradiance between full sunlight and shading being demanding. Weather has the highest impact on irradiance on the roof, while the season has a greater influence on the relative irradiance on the sides of a vehicle. Changes in irradiance typically occur at frequencies below 1 Hz, but can reach 100 Hz or higher in certain situations, especially in sunny weather.
