Nowadays, more and more people are choosing to purchase electric vehicles instead of traditional cars, and the most critical consideration for electric cars is the charging issue. With the widespread availability of charging stations, people are turning their attention to using solar power for charging. So, can solar panels directly charge electric vehicles?
The answer is no; solar panels cannot directly charge the battery. Typically, solar panels charging batteries include protective circuits and charging circuits, known as solar charge controllers. The controller's protective circuit features include protection against overcharging, overdischarging, output overload, overvoltage, and high-temperature protection for the battery.
When charging a battery with solar panels, direct connection is not advisable due to the significant impact of sunlight conditions, such as shadows and angles, leading to unstable output voltage. Therefore, a solar charge controller is necessary to prevent overcharging and reverse charging, ensuring battery protection. If the solar panel itself has a built-in battery, the performance will be even better.
