Solar-Powered EV Chargers: Charge Your Car With the Sun & Save Money

Table of Contents

Electric vehicles (EVs) are the future, but traditional charging methods can be costly and unreliable. Solar powered EV chargers offer an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution that helps you power your EV with clean energy while reducing your electric bill. Even better, when your EV isn’t charging, your solar panels feed energy back to the grid, maximizing savings. With tax credits and incentives, you can also offset the initial investment. In this guide, we’ll explore how solar EV chargers work, their benefits, and how Florida Power Services can help you make the switch.

How Do Solar-Powered EV Chargers Work?

A solar EV charger is a system that captures sunlight and converts it into electricity to charge your EV. Here’s how it works:

1. Solar Panels Absorb Sunlight – Photovoltaic (PV) panels collect solar energy and generate direct current (DC) electricity.

2. Inverter Converts Power – The system’s inverter changes DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which powers your home and EV charger.

3. Battery Storage (Optional) – If you opt for a battery backup, excess energy is stored for later use, allowing charging at night or during outages.

4. EV Charging & Home Powering – The system prioritizes charging your EV while also supplying energy to your home or business.

5. Sending Energy to the Grid – Any unused electricity is fed back to the grid, reducing your electric bill and earning credits through net metering.

The Key Benefits of Solar-Powered EV Chargers

Charge Your EV Even During Power Outages

One of the most significant advantages of solar EV chargers is that they keep working even when the grid goes down. Unlike traditional chargers, which depend on utility power, solar chargers with battery storage provide energy independence. Whether it’s a storm, hurricane, or a routine power failure, you’ll always be able to charge your EV and keep your home running.

Slash Your Electric Bill

If you rely on grid electricity, your energy costs can fluctuate. With a solar-powered EV charger, you can generate your electricity and significantly cut costs. When your charger isn’t in use, excess energy is sent back to the grid, potentially eliminating your electric bill. Some homeowners even earn credits through net metering programs, making solar charging an even smarter investment.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Fossil fuels still power much of the grid, meaning traditional EV charging isn’t always as eco-friendly as it seems. By switching to a solar-powered charger you ensure that your EV runs on clean, renewable energy. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps create a greener future.

Qualify for Generous Tax Incentives & Rebates

One of the best reasons to install a solar-powered EV charger now is the availability of government incentives. Depending on your location, you may qualify for tax credits and rebates that save you thousands of dollars. Some of the key incentives include:

Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Allows you to deduct up to 30% of your solar installation cost.

Florida Property Tax Exemption: Solar systems won’t increase your property tax assessment.

Florida Sales Tax Exemption: In Florida, solar energy systems are exempt from sales and use tax, making it more affordable to invest in solar technology. This exemption has been in place since July 1, 1997, and was permanently established through H.B. 805 in May 2005, providing a lower upfront cost for solar installations.

10% Domestic Content Adder: If your solar system meets certain domestic content requirements, you can qualify for an additional tax credit of 10% of the system’s cost. This can significantly enhance your overall tax savings, allowing for a larger refund when you file.

Net Metering Programs: Earn credits for excess energy sent to the grid, further reducing costs.

Florida Power Services can help you navigate the application process to maximize your savings.

Added Home Value From Solar: Investing in solar energy systems can also increase your home’s value. Research indicates that for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills, home values rise by approximately $20. As a result, a solar energy system that saves roughly $3,520 per year could increase a home’s value by around $70,400.
