Solar + EV
Your solar panel
charges your car.
Balcony solar and EV ownership create a compounding savings loop. The panel lowers your electricity rate. The lower rate makes every mile you drive cheaper. Sol Country shows you both savings at once.

The compound effect
Two savings streams.
One address.
A 395W balcony solar kit generates approximately 560 kWh per year in Denver. The average EV uses about 3,500 kWh per year to charge. Your solar panel covers roughly 16% of your annual EV charging needs — reducing the cost of every mile you drive.
01
Solar lowers your rate
Your panel offsets grid usage and effectively lowers your blended electricity cost per kWh.
02
Lower rate = cheaper EV
Every kWh you charge your EV at home costs less when your blended rate is lower from solar.
03
Savings compound yearly
As utility rates rise your solar savings grow AND your EV fuel savings grow simultaneously.
