Abstract

A Solar Carport integrated with second-life EV batteries was installed at Óbuda University. It collects and stores solar energy and charges electric vehicles. It is a fully green concept, not just because of the solar panels or EV charging, but it is giving a 2nd life to electric vehicle batteries that are produced in a huge amount for the automotive market and ready to be utilized for green energy storage. The system demonstrates how an average household can combine the second-life EV batteries with a solar system and charger. The system consists of Solar panels, Inverter, EV batteries, EV chargers and Battery Management Unit (BMS). The remotely controlled element of the Solar Carport can be a detail of the city-wide microgrid too.
