Secondary solar setup for EV charging
Recently, a solar company went out of business near me and liquidated their stock for next to nothing. I got 20x 400 watt panels for around $500.
So I have an 8.5 KW system currently. I sized it for my
House when I got it but have since added AC to my garage and got an EV. So my power bill has (somewhat) gone back up.
I have a 40 kw lvl2 charger currently but I think most of the time I could get away with doing a lvl 1 charger if I wanted to because I work from home.
What id like to do is add a second, smaller array dedicated to charging the EV. I have space on the garage roof.
The big question I have is what I should do for an inverter. I’m thinking I just use an inverter to provide power when the sun is out. It would shut off at night and just charge the car during the day. That way I can keep it completely separate from my current solar setup and not worry about the power company. I also don’t really want to pay for the battery storage.
Is any of this feasible or worth it at all?
