According to InsideEV in 2017, nearly 200,000 electric vehicles were sold in the US. Many people shy away from purchasing an electric vehicle because they don’t want to wait for their car to charge or they fear their car will die while they’re driving.
SolarEdge's new electric vehicle (EV) charging inverter can assuage those fears and expand the availability and feasibility for solar and EV. The inverter is the world's first of its kind featuring easier installation, cheaper cost, less space and even faster charging with the breakthrough solar boost mode. Solar boost mode utilizes grid and PV charging simultaneously to offer homeowners the ability to charge electric vehicles up to 6 times faster than a standard Level 1 charger.
We charge our homes with the sun’s energy, why not our cars?
Reduce the cost and effort of installing a standalone EV charger and a PV inverter. SolarEdge’s EV charging inverter eliminates the need for additional wiring, conduit, and a breaker installation. By installing an EV charger that is integrated with an inverter, no additional dedicated circuit breaker is needed, saving space and ruling out a potential upgrade to the main distribution panel.
Key Benefits
• Combines sun and grid power for charging up to six times faster than a Level 1 EV charger
• Reduces workload and costs of installing a standalone EV charger and a PV inverter
