In particular, the decrease in solar module prices from HPS components more than other components (inverter, etc.) has needed the re-evaluation of the inverter loading rates (DC/AC ratio) in optimum system sizing. This study proposes the optimization of DC/AC ratios for EVCS installed in three regions with different climatic characteristics by considering the technical, economic, and environmental effects. The results showed that in optimal scenarios, the DC/AC ratio rose above 1.51 and increased to 1.66, especially for Samsun province, which has low solar potential. On the other hand, the clipping energy (CE) losses were determined to be up to 14% of the total annual energy production when DC/AC ratio is two. © 2022 IEEE.en10.1109/HORA55278.2022.9799890info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessclipping energyelectric vehicle charge stationenergy gainedenergy managementhybrid power systemElectric vehiclesSolar panelsSolar power generationCharging stationClipping energyElectric vehicle charge stationElectric vehicle chargingEnergyEnergy gainedHybrid powerHybrid power systemPhotovoltaic invertersElectric invertersConference Object2-s2.0-85133973751
