Building a Self-Sufficient Energy Ecosystem: Solar to EV Charging
The shift in energy consumption and generation is more pronounced than ever. Rising energy costs, climate change awareness, and tech advancements make energy self-sufficiency achievable for homeowners. A combination of Solar, Energy Storage, Smart Load Management, Electric Vehicle charging, and smart devices, set the path for a greener future.
Understanding Today’s Energy Landscape
With fluctuating interest rates, making financial decisions about solar and energy storage can be daunting. However, the long-term savings from renewable solutions are hard to ignore. In areas like California, the value proposition of solar without energy storage has diminished due to changes in energy credits. Adding volatile fuel prices to the mix makes electric vehicles (EVs) enticing. Indeed, the initial investment may be high, but the promise of future savings and energy independence is worth it.
Historical Context: The upward trend in energy costs is evident. With electricity prices like 72-84 cents per kWh becoming the norm during peak hours, thinking ahead is crucial. Investing in renewables locks in current prices for future energy needs.
The Power of Solar, Storage, and EVs
Solar energy is at the forefront of the self-reliant energy movement, but it’s the advanced energy storage that’s the game-changer. By storing excess energy during peak times, homeowners can navigate the ebb and flow of energy production, ensuring constant supply.
The Era of Bi-Directional EV Chargers
New electric vehicles are entering the market that allow for bi-directional charging, meaning they can both draw and supply power. This allows your vehicle to become a source of energy for the home as much as an energy efficient ride to the office.
Specialized bi-directional EV chargers are required to leverage these capabilities, and should become part of the power plan in addition to a home-based energy storage solution like the Savant Power Storage 20. As EV adoption grows and industry standards for bi-directional charging take root, the path to energy independence becomes clearer. Imagine tapping into your EVs stored energy during a power outage or on non-solar days. It depicts a future of energy adaptability and resilience.
Maximize your EV Charging Capabilities
The Savant Power Storage 20 is pivotal for energy independence and maxing out the performance of your electric vehicle. It boasts a 12.5 kW off-grid output and with 20 kWh storage and supports both AC and DC-couple solar installations. The allows the Power Storage 20 to easily retrofit with your existing solar or be perfect for a new installation, reducing conversion losses and simplifying the design of your energy system.
Flexible & Efficient EV Charging
Homeowners can enjoy universal fast charging for electric vehicles by installing a Savant Level 2 EV Charger. With adapters for both universal and Tesla connectivity, you can charge whichever car you choose to bring home.
Introducing load management, like Savant Power Modules, into your existing electrical panel grants you the ability to extend the runtime of your energy storage as well as decide when your EV will charge. This avoids charging from the utility during peak rate periods and getting the most out of your excess solar energy.
Revolutionizing Home Energy with the Savant’s Power System
Today’s homes demand modern energy solutions. Savant delivers smart power across the whole home with intelligent energy storage, flexible load management and fast EV charging. The Savant Power System also manages local energy from solar and automatic generators to provide your home with the most efficient power during peak times or grid disruptions. The award-winning Savant app provides insights on all your energy, with real-time updates and the power to focus your energy where you need it most.
