Thank you, everyone, for your advice and opinions. I will dive deeper with the advice I got from you guys and hopefully I manage to figure something out. Appreciated all the feedback I got from here!

Yea I agree but the place that I planning to set up is not ready yet so I just want to get a rough idea of what I can source out for when the time comes.

Hi everyone. I would like to set up an off-grid system but I don't have much knowledge about it. So I would like to seek your advice on this. Assuming I have 12x 500watt solar panels which total up to 6kW, with 5 hours sun time will produce 30kW per day. Can you suggest what type of inverter...

Has any tried charging a Tesla battery pack directly using solar power?

I don't really expect to charge the battery to full. More on acting like a secondary power supply to the battery module to increase the vehicle range. Perhaps a 2-5% increase in miles will be enough.

Ok, let us imagine that we're given a scenario that we own an EV, be it any brands out there. The battery capacity given by them is fixed, so it let us travel a certain amount of distance. When the battery is low, we got to charge it from home or any charging station. So now, given that we can...

I was thinking of a project to mount a solar panel on top of an EV, hopefully, to increase the car traveling distance while driving or stationary. Just wondering if an off-grid solar system can be applied to this idea of mine.

I need some advice from the pros here. How can I charge up a battery module that is 129.6v @ 180Ah which is a 23.3kWh battery capacity by using a solar panel? I understand that the voltage coming from the solar panel can be real low (e.g 12v,24v, and 48v). Assuming I want to use a 12v system...

Thank you for the explanation buddy! I have a much better understanding now. ?

Hi all, I am kinda confused with the efficiency of the solar panel, what does it really mean? Does it mean if I have a 300w panel, I won't be getting 300w per hour? How does efficiency plays a part? Is there any formula to calculate the watts I can get per hour given the efficiency percentage...

Hi, Thank you for your response, appreciated it. Please correct me if I'm wrong. From my understanding of an inverter like you mentioned, It basically converts DC from the solar panel to AC. Assuming I want to charge the EV battery using DC, can I not use the inverter to charge it? Based on...

Hi everyone! I was thinking to use solar panel to directly charge my electric vehicle battery, is this feasible? Are there any factors that I will need to consider by doing this? I understand that the efficiency of this method isn't much but I just want to learn and explore it. Ultimately I...

Thank you for answering my queries. If that's the case, will there be any drawback if I prolong using it in such a manner as you mention above? Like shortening the battery life and etc? Thank you and I definitely will read up on the beginner resources you provided!

Hello everyone! I am new to solar energy, I want to explore more in-depth into it and I hope you guys can really help me out through my journey. I have few questions and I hope you guys can help me out before I start my mini DIY project. Is it possible to charge and discharge a lithium...
