Tesla Announces Gamechanging New Feature For EV Owners: ‘[It] Maximizes The Value Of Your Homes Solar System

Tesla is a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles, and among many new vehicles, you can now charge your electric vehicle using excess energy from Tesla's solar panels in your home with the Charge On Solar feature.

These panels may look like a simple roof, but they actually capture and store the sun's energy, creating a more sustainable energy source and saving people energy bills.

Tesla's solar panels, along with other renewable energy sources, sometimes produce too much power for home use; This is where the function of the Sun's charge comes into play.

With this feature, electric cars are charged with a mix of grid power and excess solar power, and users control when the car switches from charging both to charging only with excess power, Electrek reported. Dual charging is faster if there's some space, but if not, you can set it to use as much power as you want.

For now, this feature is available to anyone in the US or Canada, but it can only be used with Tesla Powerwalls and certain electric vehicles. In time, we hope this will include other electric vehicles and renewable energy.

The upgrade not only makes charging easier, but according to Tesla, it "maximizes the value of your home solar system."

If you have solar panels, the excess energy is usually fed into the grid and you often get a credit. However, this new method allows using energy. Everything is controlled by the Tesla app, so it's easy and convenient to use and represents another step towards green cars.

Electric cars have already been discussed because they do not directly produce greenhouse gases like gasoline cars. However, there is room for improvement in some areas, and the full focus on renewable energy, especially the use of excess energy, is an exciting development.

The statement had controversial reactions. Some were excited by the idea, while others were looking for more variety in the types of cars and solar panels that could be used, Electrek reports.

One of the users wrote: “This development makes me think positively about my plan to get two Tesla Powerwalls with my solar PV. I suspect that when I find it, I'll be shaking my head at what took me so long."
