Smart Solar Carport System

Project Overview

The use of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, is readily available to a wider audience because of the falling costs of installing PV panels. This project will have smart solar carports system to be built in the campus of Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU). The project adopted the concept of renewable and green energy by generating electricity and power from solar panels mounted on the carport. The designed solar carport system composed of subsystems intended to provide smart solutions and integrate various aspects in the world of smart electrical systems such as electrical vehicle (EV) charging system, green home system, and local storage system.


Project Objectives

  • Reduce electricity expenditures and hedge against future cost increases, i.e. electric bills
  • Adopt and encourage environmentally-friendly transportation with electric vehicles and their chargers in future, chiefly at educational facilities.
  • Improve parking experience for students, staff, and visitors.
  • Afford electric vehicle (EV) charging station.
