Solar panels catch sunlight and use the photovoltaic effect to turn it into electricity. They are commonly mounted on rooftops or in special solar arrays. Electricity is produced using direct current (DC) by the solar panels.
The DC electricity generated by the solar panels must be transformed into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is compatible with the majority of EV chargers, using an inverter. This conversion is carried out by an inverter, which guarantees that the electricity may be used to power the EV.
There are a few different ways to connect solar panels to an EV charger. One option is to use a dedicated solar charger, which is designed specifically for charging EVs. These chargers are usually mounted on the roof of the home or business, and they connect directly to the EV charger. Another option is to use a grid-tied solar system, which is connected to the electrical grid. The solar panels generate electricity, which is then sent to the EV charger through the electrical grid.
An electric car charger or charging station is linked to the AC electricity from the inverter. This can be a Level 1 charger, which plugs into a regular outlet, a Level 2 charger, which needs a dedicated circuit, or a Level 3 charger, which is a DC fast charger. The EV charger controls the current flow to the car’s battery, ensuring a secure and effective charge.
