Charging a Wallbox with Photovoltaics – E-Car with Solar Power

Why Charging with Solar Power Makes Sense

More and more households are combining a photovoltaic system with an electric car.
The self-generated solar power can be used directly to charge the vehicle.

This offers several advantages:

• Lower electricity costs

• Greater independence from the electricity market

• Use of renewable energy

How Charging with Photovoltaics Works

A PV system produces electricity during the day. If this electricity is not
fully consumed in the household, a surplus is generated.

This surplus can be used for:

• Household appliances

• Heat pumps

• Wallboxes

This ensures optimal use of self-generated electricity.

What PV Surplus Charging Means

With surplus charging, the electric car is only charged when surplus
solar power is available. This prevents the need to draw electricity from the grid.

Energy Management Optimizes Charging

An energy management system can automatically detect when solar power is available.

The wallbox is then automatically activated and uses the surplus electricity.
