Solar panels on the home?
Okay so I'm a novice on solar technology, understanding only that electricity is produced during the daytime. And perhaps there is a thread on this already, if so please point me to it.
If your discharging your EV primarily during the day, and charging at night... how then can you harvest solar energy for this purpose. Thinking too, that most of your home energy needs occur during the morning and evening hours. Are you just offsetting your demand and giving back to the grid? I can't imagine that there are storage systems for the home, to unload from when needed later - is there?
Just curious to understand, how some threads seem to indicate you can charge your Tesla completely from solar. What viable technology solutions are out there today?
