Photovoltaic Charging System for an Electric Vehicle Internal Battery

This invention describes a system that uses solar panels mounted on an electric vehicle to generate electricity. This electricity is then converted and stored in the car's main battery, helping to extend its driving range. The system specifically focuses on converting alternating current to direct current and using this power to supplement the battery's charge.

Why it matters: Solar panel efficiency and flexible panel technology have improved, making vehicle integration more practical. EV battery management systems have also advanced, potentially simplifying the safe integration of auxiliary charging sources.
