Mission

These are initial thoughts gathered until we can develop something more substantial.

What started as a project of passion, quickly turned into a two year endeavor. Most countries lack the electrical infrastructure to support millions of electric vehicles. At the same time, the price per watt at a charging station is typically 2X that of residential electrical prices, and four times the cost per watt-hour of solar panels.

Future grid: Today, if every EV had a solar rooftop equivalent to 400 watts, it could significantly contribute to meeting the world's power needs. Electric vehicles have the added benefit of containing a large battery, or power bank. If electric vehicles could charge under the sun, store the power, and provide AC power to a home at night, then much stress can be alleviated from the grid.

EVs are also parked 80% of the time, while they remain idle, it makes sense to use solar to slowly drip charge them. Slow charging is better for the lifecycle of most batteries compared to “supercharging”.

No centralization: On a human ethical level, if every person charged their electric vehicle with solar, this would decentralize energy production.. Centralized production increases the polarization of economic classes. Gone will be the days of a central company increasing prices overnight to increase the profits of a few at the cost of the economic stability of many.

ROI: As of this writing in October 2023, an expandable solar array would cost about the same as the equivalent of one year's worth of electric fees at a supercharging station located in Los Angeles, CA. The solar array has a life of ten (10) to (20) years. That means the consumer gets a 20X return, and the solar energy production is guaranteed to not have a negative impact on the environment.

Sustainability: Solar panels have one of the worst “energy payback times.” A solar panel takes about 25% of its lifespan to recoup the energy used in its production. However, it is the lowest cost energy production system to deploy. As such, solar panels are one of the best ways to decentralize energy production.
