This article discusses the innovative use of electric vehicle (EV) batteries as storage solutions for solar energy, enhancing renewable energy utilization.
Electric vehicle (EV) batteries are not just for powering vehicles; they can also serve as flexible storage for solar energy. This dual functionality allows for charging when the sun shines, which is a key component of smart charging systems. By integrating solar energy into the charging process, EV owners can increase their self-consumption of self-generated renewables.
Stekker plays a crucial role in this process by planning charging sessions around solar production. This ensures that EVs are charged during peak sunlight hours, maximizing the use of renewable energy. Furthermore, verifiable data about the renewables used can be beneficial for obtaining HBE credits in the Netherlands, promoting sustainable practices.
Utilizing EV batteries for solar energy storage not only benefits individual users but also contributes to a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
