Solar Power and EVs: Charging Your Car with the Sun

One of the most compelling combinations in clean energy right now is pairing a home solar system with an electric vehicle. Instead of paying for both a utility bill and gasoline, solar owners can generate the energy that powers their daily commute.

The economics work especially well for households that charge overnight using stored battery capacity, or during the day for those working from home, since it avoids drawing from the grid during peak pricing hours.

As solar panel costs continue to drop and home battery storage becomes more affordable, this pairing is quickly becoming the default setup for environmentally minded homeowners.
