Solar Roof Electric Vehicle Charging: It Sounds Impossible, But It's Not!

Electric vehicles have taken the main stage, and the technology has opened up many doors for renewable energy to enter. Many EV users cite its convenient fast-charging capability and virtually zero pollutant emission, making it the friendliest vehicle than traditional gas guzzlers. Of course, the next problem is rising energy costs, but that's something that solar roofs can help you deal with. 

Additional Solar Panels

If you're already powering several appliances with solar panels, you'll need to add a few more to your existing system. However, you might not have opportunities for additional solar panels if you have a crowded system. Make sure to consult with your dependable solar panel installer in Littleton, CO, to learn more and get professional recommendations.

Reduced Energy System Fluctuations

EV chargers take a huge chunk of electricity from your system, which can damage some appliances and electronic equipment. Electricity systems are like water -- if you use a big dip, it will create an enormous and forceful wave. By installing your EV chargers with solar panel energy generation, you won't need to buy extra storage because it goes straight to your vehicle.

You've Got a Sun-Powered Electric Vehicle

You bought an electric vehicle because you wanted to save money on gas and help reduce pollution. Nothing's cooler than knowing your vehicle uses energy from the sun and is self-sufficient enough to save you money. You've got a sun-powered vehicle that delivers next-generation futuristic benefits.

If you're looking for the best solar panels, LG's NeON R ACe can charge your vehicle effectively. Learn more about it through their helpful content below.

The NeON® R ACe can charge your EV directly from the sun

The NeON® R ACe is LG's premier AC module. It has a microinverter incorporated directly on the back of every panel which converts DC electricity into versatile AC electricity.

How many solar panels does it take to charge a typical electric car?

Each ACe module is like buying fuel for approximately 2,000 miles per year, or 50,000 miles over the 25-year warrantied lifetime of your system.1

Depending how much you drive, you can easily calculate how many panels your system would need to power your EV:

  • If you drive 2,000 miles/year, you need 1 panel
  • If you drive 10,000 miles/year, you need 5 panels
  • If you drive 20,000 miles/year, you need 10 panels

How much does it cost to charge an electric car?

If you compare the cost of fuel with solar-generated electricity, not only is it cheaper to power your electric vehicle with solar panels but it is also fixed. That way you are not vulnerable to changes in fuel price.

If one LG ACe module costs $10002 installed, and generates enough to fuel your car for 50,000 miles, that equates to 2 cent/mile. That means if you spend $3, you can drive 150 miles with solar - far longer than you can drive with $3 worth of gas in the tank. (Continued)
