I am new to solar but have been thoroughly involved reading about options to charge our new electric vehicles.
We live in West/Central Florida and get plenty of sun. HOA limits the number of panels on the roof due to being visible from the street.
Therefore, I am interested in a system that would mostly only handle charging two cars (not the house). 2 Tesla Model Y's.
I am considering our back roof and a pergola over pool for the panels.
One vehicle drives 50 miles a day and charges every other. Second vehicle uses half that.
How many panels recommended? (my calculation was about 12)
What is the most cost-effective battery option?
Is there links to current available equipment to explore this DIY option?
P.S.: I will have the hire an electrician/electrical engineer to make any build, I just want to see what the components really cost on a conservative basis. Not looking for name brand like Tesla build.
