Introduction: More Than Just Charging
With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more popular, Australians are looking beyond basic charging needs. Enter bidirectional EV chargers — the next big step in smart, sustainable living. At Green Machine Solar, we’re not only experts in solar panel installation services, but we’re also paving the way for smarter EV charging installation across homes and businesses.
Understanding Bidirectional Charging
Unlike traditional chargers that only send energy one way — from the grid to your car — bidirectional EV chargers do both. They allow energy to flow from your EV battery back into your home or even into the grid. This two-way functionality is known as vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
How It Works
Here's what makes bidirectional charging revolutionary:
- Charge Your EV as Usual:Use solar or grid electricity to power up your vehicle.
- Discharge to Power Your Home:During peak times or blackouts, your EV can supply energy back to your home.
- Sell Power to the Grid:If connected to a V2G-capable system, excess stored power can be sold back to the grid, creating potential savings.
Benefits of Bidirectional EV Chargers
With Green Machine Solar’s expert EV charging installation, here’s what homeowners can gain:
- Energy Independence:Rely less on the grid by using your EV as a mobile battery.
- Cost Savings:Reduce energy bills by using stored EV power during high-tariff periods.
- Eco-Friendly Living:Maximise the value of your solar panel installation services by storing surplus solar energy in your vehicle.
- Emergency Backup:Keep lights, fridges, and essential systems running during outages.
