This bachelor thesis deals with the possibility of integrating photovoltaic panels into the body of an electric vehicle and utilizing the generated electrical energy during vehicle operation. The introductory part describes the operating principle of photovoltaic cells, types of photovoltaic panels, degradation phenomena affecting their efficiency, as well as issues related to electromobility and the energy demands of electric vehicles. The practical part of the thesis focuses on the design of photovoltaic panel placement on the body of the Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric vehicle. The vehicle model was created using Autodesk Fusion 360 and Autodesk Inventor software, while simulations of electrical energy production were carried out in HelioScope. The thesis also includes an evaluation of the influence of the generated energy on extending the driving range of the electric vehicle, together with a technical and economic assessment of the proposed solution.
