Charging your electric car

with solar power

E-mobility that pays off

Driving sustainably for the future of all – this is possible with your own electric car. But what’s important here is to charge with green electricity – and ideally from your own photovoltaic system, since the energy to power the car is then not only 100% clean, but it is also extremely cheap.

Advantages of e-mobility with solar power

Cost savings
Charging with solar power from your own roof is cheaper from day one.

Increased self-consumption
If you use more of your own solar power, you save more and feed less electricity into the grid.

Reduced CO2emissions
For a smaller ecological footprint and improved air quality: electric cars do not produce exhaust fumes.

Charge an electric car with solar power and make driving more affordable

Solar power from your own photovoltaic system is the most affordable form of electricity. This makes e-mobility especially attractive and sustainably rewarding for owners of a PV solution.

There are also economic benefits, in addition to environmental benefits such as emission-free travel. By charging with low-cost energy, not only does your own electric car pay for itself more quickly, but the photovoltaic system also delivers a full return on its investment even more quickly.

In the long-term, cars powered by electricity also achieve further savings compared to cars with conventional combustion engines, as they are far easier to maintain.

 

Drive with your own solar power  

The more electricity you use from your own photovoltaic system, the faster the investment pays off. If you are using your self-generated electricity not just for heating, cooling and operating electrical appliances, but are also charging your electric car with solar power, you are increasing your self-consumption sustainably.
