Paarth Gupta, a B.Tech student from the school of Mechanical Engineering at Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, presented a paper at the American Solar Energy Society on the occasion of the 49th Annual Solar Conference. The conference was held on 24 and 25 June. It was held virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Titled “Solar EV Chargers and Super Flow Batteries for an Efficient Electric Vehicle,” the paper was selected for poster presentation among the top 20 posters over the world. In the paper, the SMVDU student discussed the use of solar EV chargers and super flow batteries for Electric Vehicles to become a fast and truly green mode of transportation.
