how is it a synergy? the solar panels will necessarily feed into the grid (because electricity must be transported for immediate consumption), and not necessarily into EVs (since it can be sunny when no cars are here to recharge, or EVs need recharging at night when there's no sun). Only rarely will the electricity collected by the panels feed directly into the EVs.
So IMHO not a synergy, it is merely co-location of the 2 (which is good, since parking lots are mostly unused space, now this space will in fact do something when not in-use for car parking).
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoCombined PV inverters and EV chargers can be 20% more efficient by staying in DC instead of a double conversion and let you fast charge by using grid power and solar simultaneously.
- jbn 4y agointeresting, so there is a synergy! Of course, it doesn't do anything when you park your car when it rains ;-)
