I m doing a similar project using battery modules from a chevy volt as storage for solar panels.
Chevy volt solar panels.
I push energy to the grid during the day and draw back to charge at night.
It also has an 800 volt dc fast charging system which adds 60 miles of range in four minutes.
The base 4s model costs 114 000 delivered while more advanced options such as the turbo model will cost around 150 000.
Charge your chevy bolt with solar and reduce your fuel costs to zero when you buy an electric car your fuel costs are equivalent to the cost of electricity you use to charge the car s battery.
My leaf uses between 2 and 3 mwh per year so i generally consider that it is six panels worth.
You might get a mile more range or something like that if you park outside.
A solar panel on top of a volt during the course of the day if sitting outside in el paso texas aka sun city for 10 hours would probably provide only enough juice to back out of a driveway at one s house.
Main one is battery management.
I have seen solar panels mounted at the top of windshields that trickle charge the 12 volt battery.
Pushing at peak and near.
Here s what i have done so far and the issues that have come up.
By installing home solar panels with your ev you can eliminate the need to pull any electricity from the grid.
A general rule of thumb is that 1 kw of installed pv solar panels will produce about 200 kwh per month.
He wanted to use the solar panels and cells that were so good at producing power for cell phones 12 volt battery chargers and laptop chargers at a slightly larger scale to power his car a chevy.
