This　paper　explores　the　recent　technologies　applied　in　the　integration　of　wireless　power　transfer　(WPT)　and　photovoltaic　(PV)　systems　to　provide　flexibility,　convenience,　isolation,　safety,　etc.　A　basic　introduction　to　the　PV　and　WPT　systems　is　given.　The　typical　PV　systems　integrated　with　WPT　are　illustrated.　PV　panels　can　be　integrated　in　buildings,　providing　isolation　of　the　building　interior　and　exterior　from　the　unwanted　water,　air,　noise,　heat,　or　light.　In　electric　vehicle　(EV)　charging　systems　with　PV　panels,　the　connection　types,　the　arrangement　of　multiple　sources,　and　the　control　algorithm　are　shown.　Modular　designs　for　low-power　applications　are　also　presented.　In　low-power　applications,　solar　energy　can　be　received　wirelessly　to　power　the　cooling　device　in　the　vehicle　cabin　without　using　the　vehicle＇s　power.　In　some　special　scenarios,　such　as　lunar　rovers　and　space　solar　power,　WPT　and　PV　are　combined　to　offer　advantages　over　conventional　methods.　The　integration　of　PV　and　WPT　can　enhance　the　superiority　of　both　sides　and　extend　their　boundaries　to　a　new　level.　　©　2023　IEEE.
