EV charger on solar energy
Charging station for solar panels
A solar panel charging station is the solution to charge your car inexpensively. The good news is that you can now combine such a charging post Whiteh your own solar panels at home. You can use either full or only surplus solar energy to charge your electric car. But combining solar energy Whiteh power from the grid is also possible. Or if you want to charge your car quickly, only using grid power.
The Myenergi Zappi V2.1 is perhaps the best charging station. But recently there is the Ratio Solar charging station and the Ratio solid ev charger that can also fully charge on solar energy. These charging posts all work in the same way and also have the same features. The main differences are mainly in the details such as an app connection or wireless connection to the meter box via an optional Myenergi Harvi.
Read on below to find out why this is an interesting combination and whether it could also be a good choice for your situation.
Why is charging Whiteh generated energy so advantageous?
You may be wondering why charging Whiteh generated energy is so beneficial for your budget. The answer is simple. Combining a charging station Whiteh solar panels makes it possible to charge the electric car practically for free and use green electricity at the same time. This is already interesting if you generate too much power and feed it back to the grid.
By using these surpluses directly, considerable savings can be made on energy costs. However, the real benefits emerge when the scheme for offsetting returned energy is phased out and eventually terminated. At that point, a charging station using solar energy will pay for itself Whitehin a very short time, especially if you charge your electric car Whiteh the energy you have generated yourself. Electric cars often require significant amounts of energy, and during sunny summer days, more electricity is often generated than the household consumes.
There will also be options to connect the solar charging station to your own home solar battery. Namely, the Myenergi Zappi V2.1 can then be connected to the Myenergi libbi home battery. The Myenergi libbi will soon also be smart enough not to send the directly stored power to the car, but to save it for the household.

If you have the option of installing a home fast charging station, it may be a wise move to use solar panels to charge your car. While all efforts count, the principle applies here: the greater the solar power, the more favourable the results.
Advantages of a charging station for solar panels
Curious about the advantages of a charging station for solar panels? We list here the five most important ones.
- Sustainability and Environmental Friendliness: Using a charging station that can use power from solar panels reduces your dependence on non-renewable energy sources and helps reduce your carbon footprint.
- Cost savings: Solar panels generate free electricity from sunlight. By charging your electric vehicle Whiteh solar energy, you can save on your energy costs, especially in the long run.
- Grid independence: When you combine solar panels and a charging station, you can be partially independent from the public electricity grid. This can be useful in case of power cuts or grid failures.
- Increase property value: The addition of solar systems and charging infrastructure can increase the value of your home, as it is attractive to environmentally conscious buyers.
- Self-consumption and storage: Some systems can be combined Whiteh energy storage, such as a solar battery, allowing you to store excess solar energy during the day and use it to charge your EV at night.
Disadvantages of a charging station for solar panels
There are also two minor disadvantages of a charging station for solar panels that it is best to take into account when considering buying this type of charging station.
- Initial costs: the initial investment in solar panels, energy storage and a charging station can be high. Although this can be recovered in the long run through savings, it can be a financial barrier.
- Weather dependence: solar energy production depends on weather conditions, especially sunlight. On cloudy days, yields may be lower, affecting the energy available for charging your EV. Overall, the combination of solar panels and a charging station can be beneficial, especially if you are environmentally conscious and looking for ways to reduce your energy costs.

Frequent asked questions
Are there solar powered EV chargers?
Yes, there are several EV chargers that can charge your car on solar energy. For this, these charge posts require PV integration and Dynamic Load Balancing. In the category where you are now, there are charge posts that have PV integration. Usually, these charging posts have Dynamic Load Balancing internally or can be connected via an external device. Often there is a mode you can set the EV chargers to; EV chargers can charge entirely on solar energy (solar-only) or charge on all other solar energy (solar-priority).
What is the best EV charger to use with solar?
A charge post suitable for solar panels must have PV integration. This means that the charging station is able to use energy directly from solar panels. The main features of such charge posts are:
- Dynamic Load Balancing (smart distribution of power)
- Solar integration (PV-controlled charging)
- Modes such as ‘solar-only’ or ‘solar priority’
Popular models with PV integration are:
- Ratio Solid EV charger
- Ratio Solar EV charger, with the Sense 3-phase kit 63A
- MyEnergi Zappi V2.1 EV charger
- Easee Charge Up socket charger, with the Easee Equalizer
How long to charge EV with solar panels?
How long it takes to charge an electric car on solar power depends on the charging capacity of your car and the amount of energy left to recharge. If the car is completely empty, we recommend recharging on excess solar energy, using normal electricity in the process. If your car is partially empty, for example by driving 40 to 60 km a day, you can certainly recharge your car with solar energy. For this, you need about 8 to 10 kWh per day. So, to recharge your car on solar energy alone, 8 to 10 solar panels are often enough! However, there are factors that affect solar-only charging:
- Weather (if it is cloudy, you will get less output)
- Time of year (there are more hours of sun in summer)
- Your home energy usage (your house uses solar power first, EV gets the surplus)
For these reasons, we often recommend charging your car in mode ‘solar-priority,’ for this the EV charger uses the remaining solar energy with normal power where necessary.
How many solar panels for EV charging?
The number of solar panels you need to charge your electric car depends on how much you drive.
Kilometres on an annual basis | Amount of solar panels |
10,000 km | 4 to 5 solar panels |
20,000 km | 8 to 10 solar panels |
30,000 km | 13 to 14 solar panels |
40,000 km | 17 to 19 solar panels |
50,000 km | 22 to 23 solar panels |
An electric car consumes an average of 15 kWh per 100 kilometres. If you drive 10,000 kilometres a year, you need about 1,500 kWh of electricity. An average solar panel delivers around 350 kWh per year.
Can a solar charger drain a car battery?
If you use a full solar power system (solar panels, inverter, EV charger and charging cable) to charge an electric car, there is no risk of your EV battery being drained by the solar system. These installations are designed so that power only goes to the car, not the other way around. Modern charging stations and inverters are equipped with safeguards and smart controls that ensure there is no unwanted feed-in or leakage current. However, in some cases a solar charger can drain a battery, but it depends on the type of system you use. With small solar panels designed to charge a 12V battery (such as a car's starter battery), in the absence of sunlight, current may flow back from the battery to the panel. This happens especially with cheap or simple chargers without a so-called blocking diode or charge controller. In such a case, the battery may slowly drain once there is no more sunlight. For these reasons, we always recommend an EV charger installation for charger on solar-energy.
