Power Your EV From the Sun

While charging an EV is often cheaper than filling up at the gas station, it can still cause your home electric bill to skyrocket. Plus, most grid electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels, counteracting the eco benefit of driving an EV.

A solar EV charger — that is, a home EV charger powered by solar panels — offers the dual benefit of charging your EV with clean energy, while cutting down on electricity costs.

Level 2 Solar EV Charger FAQs

A Level 2 EV charger is a type of home EV charger designed to provide faster charging compared to a standard Level 1 charger. It operates at a higher voltage, typically 240 volts, which allows it to charge an EV much more quickly (often in just a few hours) rather than the overnight charging required with a Level 1 charger.

A Level 2 home EV charging station needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit — similar to what’s used for large appliances like dryers — so professional installation is required.

Yes, you can charge an electric vehicle (EV) with solar panels if you have the right equipment and a compatible charger. Solar panels and EVs both use direct current (DC), so you don't need an inverter between them. The number of panels you need depends on your EV's battery capacity and how fast you want to charge it.

Charging your electric vehicle (EV) at home using solar power offers numerous benefits:

  • Energy Independence. Reduced reliance on the power grid.
  • Convenience & Flexibility. Optimize charging based on solar production.
  • Environmental Impact. Lower carbon footprint and sustainable energy use.
  • Long-Term Investment. Durable, low-maintenance and reliable solar panels.
  • Cost Savings. Reduced utility bills and potential tax incentives and rebates.

Industry experts reveal that charging your EV with solar can be 51% cheaper than charging on grid power, 80% cheaper than using public chargers, and 81% cheaper than filling up a gas-powered car that gets 30 miles per gallon.* These figures vary by the model of car, distance traveled and cost of fuel at any given time.

Since your home’s solar system will be tied to your electric provider (grid-tied), if you don’t have battery storage, your solar panels will not work during a power outage, and thus won’t be able to charge your EV. To have electricity for home EV charging during a power outage, you’ll need a solar + battery storage system.*
