Charging an Electric Vehicle with Sigenergy Solar Panels and Battery Storage
One of the main advantages of the Sigenergy ecosystem is the ability to coordinate solar generation, battery storage and EV charging.
A compatible system can help homeowners make better use of electricity generated by their solar panels and reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid.
How Does Solar EV Charging Work?
During daylight hours, solar panels generate electricity that can be used by the property.
Where sufficient surplus generation is available, a compatible Sigenergy EV charger can direct electricity towards charging your vehicle.
Depending on the system configuration, energy may also be stored in a home battery for use later or charging may be scheduled to take advantage of lower-cost electricity tariffs.
For example, a homeowner who is away during the day may choose to charge overnight, while someone who works from home may be able to make greater use of surplus solar generation.
The most suitable approach depends on your electricity consumption, solar generation, battery capacity, vehicle and tariff.
Can You Add a Sigenergy EV Charger to an Existing Solar System?
Potentially, yes.
If you already have solar panels or battery storage, UKGEI can assess your existing equipment and advise whether a Sigenergy AC charger can be integrated.
For the DC Charging Module, a compatible SigenStor system is required.
If you're planning a new solar and battery installation, considering EV charging at the design stage can help ensure the system is appropriately sized for your current and future energy needs.
