PluggedSolar launches its project for home power electric vehicles





To fully charge the battery of the electric vehicle Chevrolet Volt, it is necessary to spend about 9 kilowatt-hours of electricity. On a full charge the car can travel about 40 miles (64 km). One of the customers of the PluggedSolar system (capacity of 1.7 kilowatt) reports that he is able to charge your electric car only by solar energy. He uses his car for the typical commute to the office and daily business. Average daily mileage varies from 30 to 40 miles (48 to 64 kilometers), which corresponds to the average annual mileage 11 000 to 15 000 miles (up to 17700 24100 kilometers).





PluggedSolar uses advanced technology that connects solar panels by connecting directly to a household electric outlet, in accordance with the requirements of local utility companies. Solar kit companies (Plugged Solar Kit) are made on the principle of “do it yourself”. This reduces the cost of installing a solar system in half and make solar electricity cheaper than what we get from a traditional power plant that burns tons of fossil fuels. Homeowners can spend your day for self-installation of the system or cause local craftsmen who will do the work of installing the system. Under normal circumstances, you need only one working day to install this system.

I would hope that in the future, all cars will run solely on solar energy produced by systems such PluggedSolar, as well as energy storage systems, such Plug-In Power Backup.
