I’m thinking of building a garage/workshop away from the house, and was wondering about the feasibility of sticking some solar panels on the roof and using these, and these only, to trickle charge an electric car. Is this possible?
There’s no power available near the spot I’m thinking of, and running it there would be tremendously expensive.
So I’m thinking of throwing up some 2nd hand panels to give a maybe 2 or 3 KW system, an inverter to match, and simply wiring up a charging point to it. Would that work? Do I need some way of dumping excess energy somewhere?
Or is this not even possible?
Anyone know where to look for information on creating such a project?
TIA
