Hey folks, new to the forum but have a new idea... I have been interested in solar powered electric for awhile and now have a potential solution. I am in a unique situation in that I rent both my house and office. ie Not a candidate for permanently installed solar panels. I've been looking for a long time for a way to charge the car directly from solar. Enginer has somewhat recently changed owners and now has a 4Kw battery pack upgrade for LEAF, similar to the Prius plug-in upgrade. It apparently is plug-n-play self install direct to my LEAF battery and has both an input jack for solar panels and outlets for 110V, 220V, and 440V. My thought is, I can put a soft install 2Kw system on the roof of my office. Basically setting the panels on balasted mounts on the roof, and drape the wires over the edge of the roof to my car. It would therefore by temporary and easy to move if I switch offices. The advantage is that the battery gives me another 15 miles range, which gets me to the next town over and back without a recharge. Plus, I'm off grid in the case of a power outage. Thoughts?
