Solar EV Charging at Home

Combine home EV charging with solar panels and battery storage for reliable, independent power. Solar Alternatives designs complete energy systems integrating EV charging capabilities with premium solar installations across the Gulf Coast.

 

EV Charging Made Simple

Skip the hunt for public charging stations. Home charging offers unmatched convenience and cost savings, putting reliable power right in your garage. Turn any parking spot into a personal charging station and start each day with a full charge while saving money.

 

Charge Up With Solar

Solar power makes home EV charging simple and affordable. Here’s why it’s the ideal solution:

 

Reliable Daily Charging

Start each day with a fully charged vehicle. Solar-powered home charging stations make daily charging as simple as parking at home. The system works automatically to keep vehicles charged and ready when needed.

 

Protection from Rising Rates

While gas prices and public charging rates continue climbing, EV solar charging provides stable, predictable costs. On average, charging with solar power costs 51% less than grid power and 80% less than public chargers.

 

Increase Home Value

As electric vehicles become more popular, homes with charging stations attract more buyers. Installing an EV charger is a smart investment that can enhance property appeal and future resale value.

 

Power Through Outages

When severe weather knocks out the grid, homes with solar panels and battery systems can keep vehicles charging. This backup ensures reliable transportation when needed most.

 

 

 

24/7 Charging with a Battery

Maximize the benefits of EV home charging with a solar battery. By storing excess energy, batteries enable reliable charging day or night – even during outages. This ensures vehicles stay powered while providing true energy independence.
