Can I charge my EV with solar panels?

Yes, you can charge an EV with solar panels. Homes and EVs both run on alternating current (AC) power. Solar panels absorb energy in direct current (DC) which gets sent to an inverter to change the electricity into AC.

A solar power system is wired into your home’s electrical panel, and from there it can provide the electricity to power any electrical load including a Level 2 EV charger.
