Tesla has introduced a new feature that allows its customers to charge their EVs using excess solar energy generated by their Tesla solar systems. Called “Charge on Solar,” the feature was introduced through an update to the Tesla mobile app and allows EV owners to optimize the usage of solar energy by efficiently harnessing the surplus power generated during daylight hours.
Once users install the necessary solar panels, Tesla Powerwall, and a Tesla vehicle charger, they can easily configure the system using the Tesla mobile app. Post connection, the app provides a clear interface to monitor and control the energy flow between the solar system and the electric vehicle.
