Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for energy management. A system, such as a vehicle, includes a solar cell that generates energy in response to receiving light. The system includes an energy controller, which includes a processor and memory, that predicts an optimal time period for charging an energy storage unit based on information tracking discharging of the energy storage unit over time. The system includes trickle charging circuitry that provides the energy to the energy storage unit during the optimal time period, and the energy storage unit that stores the energy and discharges the energy to power at least one component, such as a vehicle propulsion mechanism.
