  • Abstract
    Nowadays, the technical decisions related with all kind of vehicles join several aspects such, for instance, environmental concerns or energy save. As it is well-known, during the last couple of years several efforts have been made in order to get cars more efficient and less dependent of the oil. One way to reach this target is to develop solutions green energy based, which can not only store energy onboard but also generate energy. In this paper, some aspects of power generation using photovoltaic system to be implemented in a camping car are described and discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of this solution are also analyzed.
