About

Cecilia Pisanti is a researcher focused on sustainable transportation and solar energy integration in vehicles. Her primary research areas include hybrid vehicle design, photovoltaic (PV) system integration, and energy management strategies. Pisanti’s major contributions center on the development of a moving solar roof for hybrid vehicles—a novel concept that optimizes solar energy capture by dynamically adjusting the roof’s position. Her most cited work, “A Moving Solar Roof for a Hybrid Solar Vehicle” (2010, 17 citations), introduces this innovative approach, while her follow-up study, “Energy Management and Control of a Moving Solar Roof for a Vehicle” (2011, 6 citations), details the control algorithms and energy management systems required for efficient operation. Together, these papers demonstrate how adaptive solar panels can extend electric range and reduce fuel consumption, addressing key challenges in vehicle electrification. Though her citation counts are modest, Pisanti’s work is notable for its forward-thinking integration of renewable energy into automotive design, contributing to the growing field of solar-assisted mobility. Her research offers practical insights for engineers and students exploring sustainable vehicle technologies.
