Charge your electric vehicle at home

The energy transition is also taking place on the road: More and more electric vehicles suitable for everyday use are ensuring the increasing electrification of transportation. An important goal of the mobility transition is to reduce CO₂ emissions in order to achieve climate protection targets. The charging current must then also be generated from renewable energies. PV system operators can charge their electric vehicle with electricity from their own PV system. Solar power from the roof thus is turned into green mileage on the road. Find out here how you can charge your electric vehicle safely and cost-effectively at home with the SMA charging solution.
