Recommended battery backup

10 kWh

How this is calculated

  • EV monthly energy = (monthly km ÷ 100) × EV efficiency (kWh/100km).
  • Solar needed for EV = EV monthly energy ÷ (peak sun hours × 30) — extra kW to fully cover the car.
  • Total recommended solar covers your home (units implied by your bill ÷ tariff) plus the EV, rounded to a common array size.
  • Monthly grid cost reduction = the solar generation that offsets your grid usage (capped at total usage), valued at the tariff.
  • Estimated payback = solar system cost ÷ annual grid cost reduction.
  • Recommended charger is sized from your daily distance and charging habit.
  • Battery backup is recommended for night / mixed charging (to shift daytime solar to the evening); daytime charging needs no battery.
