Off-Grid Solar EV Charging Station. Stand-alone solution for EV.

I was an electrician for over 35 years. You did a beautiful job on everything. If you are not an electrician.... wow! WELL DONE!

[GeoFry]

This is the strength of EVs. You can set it up your own power just about anywhere.

Little less difficultly/mess than an oil refinery.

Why didn't you raise the solar array another 3 feet and use it as a carport?

[jamesevans]

This is exactly what I would do if I had acreage . Well done 🙌

This is a cool setup, and I say this as someone with home solar and a great deal of knowledge in power generation and various kinds of engineering.

You’ve got what you need with the minimum spend you had to do to achieve it. That’s proper engineering.

I realize that half the people on this site breathe through their mouths and the other half legitimately can’t read, and keep telling you to make it bigger and just can’t seem to grasp that you literally have no other loads and no way to store the overflow or give it back to the grid.

It’s good work. Even the wiring is legit, well run and clearly marked, colors correct and everything appears to be properly sized to the loads.

I yearn for the day when we can do direct charge from the batteries or panels without having to go through an inverter. That being said, very clean-looking installation, you did a great job.

Congratulations on an excellent job! True to your beliefs.😊

Great job with hand tools, i appreciate it. Also liked the decoration with old gasoline station vibes)

Just so you know, most guides will tell you the angle for maximum power production over a year, but you probably benefit by getting less power in summer but more in winter by making the angle steeper. You will produce less Joules overall, but a more linear power supply over the year, instead of having a shortage in winter.

Kudos great setup. Esthetically flawless setup.

[dennismyles]

Very nice setup sir, we appreciate you showing it to us. Sure is better than $100k for utilities.

[darrenswenson]

Do you have a cost breakdown? Love the setup thank you for posting

Thanks for the overview. Im working on something similar at our rural property with the goal of powering a few critical circuits in the house full time using solar. Im torn between an EG4 6000 and a server rack battery or two vs the anker solix 3800 and 1 expansion battery. The cost for awesome products appears to be at a near low and it feels like a good time to start picking up some components. Im in central FL, so we have amazing sun exposure year round. Your setup came out awesome, cheers!

[MakingStuff]

Awesome! This is exactly what I have been wanting to build for some time now. Glad to see that its working for your needs.

[pineapplepizza]

i like how its still pretty useful as a partial carport. never need to clean snow off the front windshield

[danone]

Love the gasoline ⛽️ sign lol 😂 good job 👏

[averillvision]

Really nice setup! We have an ID.4, same color 2023. Also Grizzle, grid-tied Solar. I’ve often wondered about the feasibility of your kind of setup.

[pltspemula]

Sangat rapi. Ditinggikan lagi itu, sehingga bisa buat atap garasi sekalian. ❤ Salam mandiri energi dari Indonesia.🇮🇩

build looks great! You may want to invest in an small window AC unit for the shed to keep the ambient temperature of the equipment low. The new EG4 units are much better than the earlier MPP Solar clones but all solar charge controllers generate heat. Between the generated heat and the outside temperature I could see the inside of the shed getting over 100 degrees in the summer in South Carolina. My EG4 6500 melted on me and developed a short. Even running a box fan, the case temperature was 95 degrees and my basement was 85 degrees every day the summer it died. My replacement Sol Ark 15k is much better and doesn't generate nearly the same amount of heat.

I just want to say Thank You for the information and outstanding work….😊
