  1. Great video! I wanted to share a simple calculation that helps estimate your energy production or system size without having to use software.
    Phi x Watts = kWh and
    kWh / Phi = Watts
    In your example 4,000kWh / 1.618 (Phi) = 2,472-watts (~2.5kW)

  2. I have 13KWp solar panels, and ~60KWH of battery.
    On the average, my solar panels generate about 60KWH.
    My EV consumes about 5~10KWH of electricity every day 5 days a week.
    My solar is very enough for EV charging and home use.

  3. I am building an off grid solar EV station. I decided to use 8x550W bi-facial solar panels with a 50V 5kW LiFEPO4 battery and a 220V inverter-charger. Just about to realize this dream of driving on solar energy.
