How Many Solar Panels Does It Take to Power an Electric Car?
Calculating the number of solar panels needed to power an electric vehicle is fairly simple. Photo courtesy of the Zero Energy Project. My wife and I built a zero energy home in 2015. The energy model we conducted as part of that process said that we would need to generate about 6200 kWhs per year to provide the energy our home was projected to use. So, we installed a solar electric system with that in mind. As it turned out, due to our well planned energy-saving measures and conservation practices, we actually produced more energy than we used. Our utility…
