Do you have solar panels and would you like a charging station that uses green energy to charge your car? Then there are a number of things you need to pay attention to. In order to avoid high fuel costs (or charging costs), to drive completely green and to use your car in a particularly climate-conscious way, you need the right charging station.
Why do you need a special charging station at home for charging with solar panels?
The power grid provides a constant flow of power to the sockets we have. Devices and machines perform best on this, because they need a certain, fixed voltage. This also applies to most charging stations. They assume a certain voltage (such as 3.7 kW via 1 phase).
The moment you want to work with a steady, fixed voltage with solar panels, a problem arises. If the charging station were to only switch on when the full capacity is available, you would miss a lot of charging hours, especially on cloudy days or days when the sun simply does not deliver enough to achieve the intended capacity.
If the sun were to deliver the full power via the solar panels, there would still be a problem and that is often missed. Suppose the solar panels deliver exactly what the charging station needs and it starts charging. Then you cannot wash, make coffee and the lights in the house go out.
What does this mean in concrete terms? It means that the best charging station for solar panels is at least equipped with:
- Load balancing so that only spare capacity is used.
- A lower starting threshold so that charging can also take place at a lower efficiency.
This means that you need a smart charging station that is adapted for charging via solar panels. Fortunately, there have been a great many models on the market recently that meet these requirements. This is not so strange, because solar panels and electric driving fit together seamlessly, which creates a great demand for the best charging stations that can be connected to solar panels. And the manufacturers of charging stations are of course happy to respond to this.
What else do you need besides a suitable charging station?
A smart charging station is nice, but without a smart meter you won't get far, certainly not when the solar panel installation needs to be able to communicate with the charging station and the meter to make the right choices. Of course you also need quality charging cables for the charging station, but when you pay attention to the maximum charging speed and the length of the cables, there is actually very little that can go wrong here.
Which charging stations are best for home charging with solar panels?
We strongly recommend that you choose a smart charging station from a reputable brand with a lower minimum charging speed so that you can always make optimal use of the yield of your solar panels. To make it easier for you, we have collected all charging stations for solar panels on one page where you can directly compare the models and possibilities.
