Palermo Solar City: Integrated Assessment of Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics - VIPV Potential Across the Complete Tourist Mobility Experience

The research program is aimed at developing an integrated solar mobility framework for Palermo bycombining Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (VIPV) and Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)across the tourist mobility corridor, with the objective of identifying viable solutions for sustainableurban transport and infrastructure. The research activities will begin with a review of the state of theart on VIPV and BIPV applications in urban mobility, with particular attention to public transport,airport and port ground vehicles, tourist shuttles, charging infrastructure, solar canopies, andtransport buildings
