A common solar panel size that you see on homes with solar electricity is about 1 6 square meters.
Using solar panels to charge tesla.
The solar panel sheets would collect energy from the sun and transfer it to a control panel.
At 285 rated watts it produces about 1 425 watt hours per day meaning that solar panel would take 63 days to charge up a fully depleted tesla 90kwh battery.
My tesla wall connector on a 100 amp dedicated circuit can charge at 50 plus miles per hour of charge but virtually none of us need that rate for overnight charging and the big negative with.
It s worth nothing that the solar system being referred to isn t tesla s solar roof tile which isn t available until later this year but a traditional rooftop solar system using solar panels.
That would require 100 days to charge up your tesla.
But it is not practical to use portable solar panels to do so.
Electric vehicles use a lot of energy considerably more than a single portable solar panel can create in over 100 days of glaring sunshine.
The cost of either inverter option is included in our standard solar pricing but it will be tesla s ultimate decision to determine which is installed for your system as not all systems benefit from power optimizers.
