This project aims to design and implement a solar-powered rooftop wireless charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The system harnesses solar energy through rooftop-installed solar panels, which is then converted into electrical energy using a solar inverter. This energy is stored in a battery bank to ensure continuous power availability, even during low sunlight or nighttime conditions. A key feature of the proposed system is wireless charging technology, which eliminates the need for physical cables, providing a convenient and user-friendly experience for EV owners. The station is equipped with a wireless charging pad that automatically aligns with the EV’s receiver coil, ensuring efficient power transfer through resonant inductive coupling technology. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the demand for efficient, sustainable, and user-friendly charging technologies. Solar-based wireless charging solution by integrating renewable energy generation with inductive power transfer to enable convenient, cable-free charging. This research work explores the design, operation, and performance evaluation of a solar-powered wireless EV charging system, highlighting the architecture, components, methodology, challenges, and potential applications. The proposed system uses solar photovoltaic (PV) modules to supply DC power, which is then conditioned and transmitted wirelessly through a resonant inductive coupling mechanism. Experimental analysis demonstrates the feasibility and efficiency of the system under different operating conditions. The results indicate that solar-assisted wireless charging can reduce dependence on grid power, minimize infrastructure complexity, and support the development of green transportation ecosystems.
