When you charge your car using solar power you'll be 'Driving on Sunshine', using free solar power. You'll start every day with a 'full tank', and never have to touch a dirty fuel nozzle or stop at a gas station again. Really, it's the coolest and most convenient thing ever.
But how much solar will you need to drive you car purely on sunshine? It is simple math. Most EVs get 7kw per kWH. If you know how many kw you drive every day, the formula is easy:
KM driven daily / 7kw per kWH / 5 equivalent peak sun hours per day
= how much solar you need.
The average commuter drives 70 Km per day. In this case, the
math is: 70 km / 7 km per kWH / 5 sun-hours = 2kW of solar.
One item we do offer and is highly recommend when installing a solar system, is to upgrade to the Solar EV Charger. You need an inverter to install solar. A Solar EV Charging Station for Home powers your abode, charges your car, only needs one circuit instead of two, and looks very nice.
