Power Your Electric Car With Solar
If you own an electric vehicle (EV), you’re already making a big step toward a greener, more sustainable lifestyle. But did you know that pairing a residential EV charger with solar panels can take this choice to the next level while saving you money in the process? We have created a guide to explore why this pair can offer you an even more exciting future to look forward to.
Drive Cleaner
While electric cars are much cleaner than gas-powered vehicles, the source of the electricity used to charge them still matters. Solar panels will make your transportation even greener. By installing solar panels you can:
- Charge your car with solar electricity - use less from your utility
- Use solar electricity or your home when your car is not charging
- Reduce your carbon footprint
Energy Independence:
By pairing solar panels with your home EV charger, you can generate your own clean, renewable energy from the sun. This means you are less affected by rising electricity prices or power outages caused by grid failures. Over time, as your solar system continues to generate energy, you reduce your reliance on external energy sources and gain more control over how much energy you consume.
You will:
- Be your own fuel source
- Rely less on the grid
- Protect yourself from rising energy costs
Savings:
One of the biggest reasons to install solar panels to charge your EV is the potential for significant savings. Right now, when you charge your electric car, you're paying for electricity from the grid, and utility rates are constantly changing and often increasing over time. By installing solar panels, you can essentially “fuel” your car with free, clean energy from the sun. Your savings from solar production will pay for the cost of your installation.
