Electric vehicles, solar and batteries. An example of how to get the most out of your solar power.

Cool setup, I still need to add PV perhaps a battery at my place. I recommend adding a Chargehanger to your setup, helps to keep the charge cable from trailing on the floor.

Nice overview Jason, been in the off grid environment for nearly 6 years now, a plug in hybrid for most of it, and now a full EV for one year. 9.6kWp of solar and 35kWh battery storage, hasn't missed a beat the whole time. Expensive, but totally doable ! Solar is very addictive 🤠😎

Thank you for sharing. Perfect setup but I think Powerwall is still overpriced.

I have a 11400H Solar Edge inverter and when I read Solar Edge’s FAQ it made it sound like the battery could work with the inverter however it would have to shut the battery with the grid due to the nature of the model inverter?

Great overview, thanks. If only V2G was a requirement imposed on EV manufacturers. Why do governments encourage personal investment in solar when they continue to subsidise the fossil fuel industry and allowing them to get off without paying taxes?

Looks like a nice set up 👍.. Is 5kw from solar enough to run a family home and charge a vehicle? What kind of average daily yield are you getting? Regards Tim

Hi Their consumption is fairly small and they produce around 50kw per day
