Solar power is the process of harnessing the energy from the sun and using solar panels to transform sunlight into electricity. Solar panels commonly referred to as; PV standing for \u2018photovoltaic\u2019. Work when 3 types of light are converted using cells at an atomic level into electricity. You can now find solar farms both on land and floating on water, generating power for thousands of homes and becoming more popular around the globe making appearances in France, Netherlands, America, UK and many more countries as a source of green energy.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"block-fifty-fifty-img-txt-block_aec3e4e5e3266c5295cc39fd8741427c\"  class=\"bg-white flexi-block fifty-fifty-img-txt-block  \">\n\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 flex flex-wrap justify-center pb-0 mx-auto pt-12 md:pt-20 lg:pt-32 pb-12 md:pb-20 lg:pb-32 \">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center lg:justify-between items-center    \">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"w-full load-hidden image-wrapper lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none  xl:pr-3.9\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1.png\" class=\"w-full rounded-2.5xl\" alt=\"\" style=\"opacity: 1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1.png 700w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/Screenshot-2020-07-07-at-13.59.08-700x700-1-250x250.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>                <\/div>\n\n            \n            \n                <div class=\"w-full self-center lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none lg:pl-20 2xl:pl-45 pt-12 lg:pt-0 load-hidden content-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 \">\n                        <h4>How is solar energy used for transportation?<\/h4>\n<p>In 2017 the world\u2019s first solar car charger the zappi was invented by Robin Richard and Lee Sutton for smart home energy management company myenergi. This pioneering technology was a monumental breakthrough and influential product for other electric car chargers to follow. The solar car battery charger can work like any standard charger if you don\u2019t own solar but has eco settings that allow you to take electricity produced by solar panels and send it straight into charging an electric car or motorbike. This innovative practice, allows you to be\u00a0<strong>driving on sunshine<\/strong>! Railroads, subways, buses, planes, cars and even roads can all be powered by solar, and solar transit is becoming a popular offering in the renewable energy sector.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div id='block-simple-content-block_c8a982585ff234bbb95be266515f0122'  class='flexi-block simple-content-block pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8 '>\n\n    <div class=\"container mx-auto wide-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"content-inner bg-white rounded-2.5xl \">\n\n            <div class=\"mx-auto first-mt-0 last-mb-0 max-w-[90%] 2xl:max-w-[1410px]  \">\n\n                <h2 class=\"center lightgreen bold\" style=\"text-align: center;\">What is a solar car battery charger?<\/h2>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t<div id='block-columns-block_56636ea4a42c0cddbd261bba92c635f0'  class='bg-white flexi-block columns-block pt-8 pb-12 md:pb-20 lg:pb-32 columns overflow-x-hidden'>\n\t\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 mx-auto max-w-8xl\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 gap-7.5 lg:grid-cols-3 \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full w-full load-hidden flex flex-wrap flex-col column column-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full pb-8 lg:pb-10 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2.jpeg\" class=\" w-full relative z-10 rounded-0.5xl\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/weather-icon-700x700-2-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 grow pb-7 lg:pb-10 !pt-0 \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Charge for free from solar energy<\/h4>\n<p>A solar car battery charger works by allowing you to use excess solar to power up your car.

Looking into your home\u2019s electricity need, size of the solar PV system and financial incentive schemes will all help determine what kind of investment will see the quickest gain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Solar panels are worth it if you generate enough electricity and stay in the same house long enough. Solar panels absorb the sun\u2019s energy to generate electricity for free, which can help reduce your electricity bills significantly. In addition, variables like solar panel grants, such as the Smart Export Guarantee, which is only for people in the UK who have a source of renewable energy, can see a return on investment faster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","guides-category":[122,136,125],"class_list":["post-42780","guides","type-guides","status-publish","hentry","guides-category-evs-charging-guides","guides-category-frequently-asked-questions","guides-category-zappi-guides"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guides\/42780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guides"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/guides"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guides\/42780\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47218,"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guides\/42780\/revisions\/47218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"guides-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guides-category?post=42780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
