Hi guys,
wanting to build a house in Hawaii, and wondering if someone can delight me in some questions
-can I be able to run a house with charging EV's off grid, or is it going to draw too much power? Planning on getting a couple EV's and couple EV motorcycles.
-I notice I drive about lets say a cushion of 60 miles a day here. what size solar and how many powerwalls do you think I would need to run off grid ( I wouldn't be in house much as I'm out most the day at another house ) ( house size is about 1,000 square foot as of right now )
just starting my idea, as I can run power to the house, but electric company says it runs about 30k to hookup the lines, so really that's quite an expense and thought to apply that toward running a bigger solar array. Also not sure but I believe in Hawaii we get double credits for anything solar????? one federal and one state I believe? making the system a lot cheaper than most.
please also keep in mind, I don't mind costs as long as this doesn't run upwards of 100k as really at that point it kinda looks silly to run such a big system then pay for it, but our electric here is .31 cents so...
thanks guys, looking forward to hopefully being able to run an off grid solution
