Abstract: The rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has created a growing demand for efficient, sustainable, and convenient charging infrastructure. This paper proposes an IoT-based solar-powered wireless power transfer (WPT) system integrated into roadways for dynamic charging of electric vehicles. The system utilizes photovoltaic panels installed alongside or beneath road surfaces to harness solar energy, which is stored and managed using intelligent energy storage systems. Wireless power transfer is achieved through inductive coupling between transmitter coils embedded in the road and receiver coils mounted on EVs, enabling real-time charging while the vehicle is in motion. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology allows for continuous monitoring, control, and optimization of energy distribution, traffic conditions, and system performance. Sensors and communication modules collect real-time data, which is processed to ensure efficient power delivery and load balancing. This approach minimizes range anxiety, reduces dependency on stationary charging stations, and enhances energy efficiency by utilizing renewable energy sources. The proposed system presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and smart solution for future transportation infrastructure, contributing to reduced carbon emissions and sustainable urban mobility.
