Charging your EV with solar power is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and sustainable way to power your vehicle.
COST SAVINGS
Using solar energy to charge your EV can significantly reduce or even eliminate your fuel costs, as sunlight is free. Once your solar panels are installed, the electricity they generate is virtually cost-free, leading to long-term savings on energy bills.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source. By charging your EV with solar energy, you further reduce your carbon footprint, making your transportation almost entirely emission-free.
Energy Independence: Solar charging allows you to become less dependent on the grid, protecting you from fluctuations in electricity prices and potential power outages. You can charge your EV using your own power supply, ensuring consistent access to energy.
Maximized Solar Investment: If you already have a solar panel system, using it to charge your EV helps you make the most of your investment. It increases the return on your solar installation by using the excess energy generated to power your vehicle.
Future-Proofing: As energy prices rise and the demand for sustainable energy grows, having a solar-powered EV charging system can future-proof your home. It prepares you for an energy-efficient lifestyle and contributes to a more sustainable future.
Our BCP Smart Wall Charger with Solar DLB can be customised to charge 100% from your solar panels, or only from the grid, or a mixture of both. This wall charger is best operated using a an easy-to-use app on your smartphone. You’ll also be greatful for the charger’s Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) technology. It has the ability to balance the EV charge session with household appliances powered on at the same time.
1. Your vehicle will charge at the same rate as the output of the solar array
2. If the solar output drops below the minimum rate then the EV will charge at the minimum rate. The recommended minimum rate is 6A.
