This article presents a method for assessing the selection of carport power for an electric vehicle using the Metalog probability distribution family. Carports are used to generate electricity and provide shade for vehicles parked underneath them. On the roof of the carport, there is a photovoltaic system consisting of photovoltaic panels and an inverter. An inverter with Internet of Things functions generates data packets which describe the operation of the entire system at certain intervals and sends them via wireless transmission to a cloud server. The transmitted data can be processed offline and used to determine the charging capacity of individual electric vehicles. This article presents the use of the Metalog family of distributions to predict the production of electricity by a photovoltaic carport with the accuracy of the probability distribution. Based on the calculations, an electric vehicle was selected that can be charged from the carport.
