As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain global popularity, residential photovoltaic (PV) charging stations are becoming more common, providing a sustainable way to charge EVs. However, the intermittent nature of solar energy creates challenges in ensuring consistent and fair charging, making fairness-based charging scheduling essential. To automate this process, residential PV charging stations require a customized Internet of Things (IoT) system. A significant concern is the substantial energy consumption due to the high volume of data transmission within the IoT system. This research aims to enhance energy efficiency by leveraging green IoT strategies suitable for such applications. The study proposes the use of edge computing, optimized data transmission scheduling, and delta compression techniques at the edge to minimize energy use. The results demonstrate that these strategies are effective in achieving energy savings. Energy-saving efficiency on the source side ranges from 1.96% to 7.84%, while on the load side, it ranges from 57.5% to 61.3%. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the proposed strategies in reducing energy consumption, providing an efficient solution for optimizing data transmission in residential PV charging stations. Overall, the strategies contribute to the sustainable operation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure by improving energy efficiency and ensuring fair distribution of charging resources.
