The Fully Electric Home: Solar + Battery + EV Charger - What Does It Really Take?
Imagine pulling into your driveway and charging your EV with energy generated on your own roof.
That’s where the fully electric home gets interesting.
With the right solar, battery and EV charger setup in Australia, your home can generate energy, store it and use it when it makes the most sense.
It starts on the roof
Your solar panels generate electricity during the day. Use it immediately and you’re already reducing the energy you buy from the grid.
But what happens to the solar you don’t use?
Then comes the battery
Instead of sending all your excess solar back to the grid, a solar battery for EV and home use can store energy for later.
Dinner. Air conditioning. Evening appliances.
And potentially, your car.
Finally, your EV becomes part of the home
Around 80% of reported EV charging in Australia happens at home.
With smart solar EV charging, your charger can help make better use of your home’s available energy.
And with dedicated home chargers typically offering 7-22 kW, charging can be significantly faster than using a standard power point.
Can you charge an EV with solar?
Absolutely.
But the smartest setup isn’t simply adding more technology.
Your solar production, battery capacity, driving habits, charging times and household energy use should all work together.
That’s the difference between owning several energy products… and having one intelligently designed home energy system.
At Weglow, we design solar, battery storage and EV charging around the way your home actually works.
Your home already uses energy. Why not make it smarter about where that energy comes from?
