Hi, I’m planning to get solar panels fitted at the same time as buying my EV.
My quote includes PV panels, battery and diverted for heating hot water. If I add a home charging station for my EV, does it matter which type with regard to charging using the solar? I would be able to charge for a couple of hours during most days, making use of the panels. When I’m night-charging, do I need an additional system (like the my energy eddi?) to allowthe extra power to be split between car and water heating? If I get an EV with a 6.6 charger, is that going to be a drain on my panels?
Any solar and EV insights or pearls of wisdom gratefully accepted! My head is swimming with lots of new facts and info, so make it simple!
