EV Charging from Home Solar

It feels good

After decades of running cars on imported fuel, there's something pretty special about the energy from your rooftop powering your transport.

Cheapest energy source

Using excess energy from your rooftop solar system is most often the cheapest  way of charging your car.

Improves solar payback

You'll recover your investment in your solar system faster using the energy to charge your car instead of exporting it to the grid.

Reduces fossil fuel use

By aligning charging times with periods of solar or wind production, you reduce the the amount of coal and gas that is used to generate electricity.

Enables more solar and wind

By charging from solar (and wind overnight) you create demand for renewable energy which in turn allows more to be built.

Reduces strain on the grid

Smart charging can automatically avoid  demand during peak periods, making power more reliable, reducing grid upgrades and keeping prices lower for everyone.
