Should I be thinking of EV charging with a solar system?

Pairing EV charging infrastructure with on-site solar is increasingly important for commercial buildings and fleet operators.

Solar systems produce peak power during daylight hours. Without EV charging, excess daytime generation may be exported to the grid at unfavorable rates (or lost entirely in areas without net metering). By installing EV charging, you capture that excess generation on-site, charging vehicles with renewable power when the sun is producing the most.

This improves the effective utilization of your solar system and increases the financial return on both the solar and charging infrastructure investments.

If your building has a fleet of electric vehicles, serves customers who drive EVs, or anticipates growing EV adoption, incorporating charging into your renewable energy planning ensures you're maximizing the value of both systems.
