In Brittany, the mania of electric mobility continues to grow. Electric vehicles, electric bikes, electric scooters, etc. More and more people adopt more clean and more ecological transport methods. What if we still went beyond combining electric mobility with solar energy?
The installation of solar panels at home can be particularly judicious for users of electric vehicles, allowing them to recharge their machine while reducing their environmental impact and saving energy.
Electric car and solar panels: a winning duo for autonomy
For electric car drivers, the installation of solar panels has an important resource: the significant increase in autonomy. In fact, by producing your sun electricity, you can recharge the electric car at a lower cost or even free of charge, depending on consumption and configuration.
Imagine a concrete scenario: install a solar panel system capable of producing 10,000 kWh per year. Your annual consumption to recharge the electric car is 7,000 kWh. This means that you can cover 70% of the recharging needs thanks to sun energy, thus significantly reducing your dependence on the electrical network.
Electric charging station and solar panels: optimize your car -consum
The installation of an electric charging terminal at home offers undeniable comfort to drivers of electric vehicles. Being able to recharge the vehicle at home, at a lower cost and ecologically, is a considerable advantage.
Incorporate an electric charging station in the Solar Panel system allows you to further optimize the consumption of cars -energy. In fact, you can program the recharge of the vehicle during the maximum hours of sun production, in order to maximize the use of your car -product.
In addition, some intelligent charging stations can be connected to the solar panel system for optimized consumption management. These terminals allow you to give priority to the use of solar energy for charging the vehicle, before injecting the surplus on the network or drawing on the electricity grid.
Choose the appropriate electric charging station
For an effective and safe top -up from the electric vehicle, it is important to choose a charging station in accordance with the standards in force and adapted to the power of the vehicle.
Different types of charging stations are available on the market:
- Mural charging terminals: Rejected to the wall of your garage or outdoor shelter, these terminals offer a compact and aesthetic solution.
- Charging terminals on the basis: Positioned on a concrete base, these terminals are more robust and adapted to external parking lots.
Furniture charging stations: Brancable on an exit of the conventional sector, these terminals are more flexible and can be used in motion.
Financial aid for the installation of charging stations
The installation of an electric house charging station can benefit from different financial aid:
- Tax credit: A 75% tax credit of the purchase and installation cost of the debit station is granted to individual French tax residents.
- Local help: Some local authorities offer further aid for the installation of electric charging stations.

How long does it take to recharge an electric car? Reload the time of an electric car in Brittany with solar panels
IMPORTANT: Charging times vary considerably depending on several factors:
- Vehicle battery capacity: The longer the capacity, the longer the charging time.
- Power of the solar panel system: The greater the power, faster is the recharge.
- Suns of Sunshine: The direct sun influences the electricity production of the solar panels, therefore the charging speed.
- Charging mode: Refill on a conventional sector socket is slower than a dedicated charging station.
Here are estimates for an average sun installation in Brittany (3kwc) and various electric cars:
Example for A Renault Zoe (52 kWh battery) in Brittany:
| Charging mode | Charging time (optimal sun) |
| Solar panels only (2kwc) | 20-25 hours |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 3.7 kW network company | From 10 to 12 |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 7 kW charging | 7 at 8 in the morning |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 22 kW charging | 3-4 hours |
Example for a Tesla model 3 (60 kWh battery) in Brittany:
| Charging mode | Charging time (optimal sun) |
| Solar panels only (2kwc) | 25-30 hours |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 3.7 kW network company | From 13 to 15:00 |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 7 kW charging | From 9 to 10 in the morning |
| Solar panels (2kwc) + 22 kW charging | 4-5 hours |
Is the recharge of an electric car safe?
Yes, the recharging of an electric car is safe if it is carried out with approved equipment and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
It is important to respect some security instructions, such as:
- Never recharge an electric car in a damaged sector outlet.
- Don’t let the children play near a charging station.
- Disconnect the car from the charging station when it is completely loaded.
Our Avenir Eco consultants recommend you and support you in your project.
How much does the recharge of an electric car cost?
The price of charging depends on the type of charging station used and the price of the electricity supplier.
On average, it is necessary to count:
- Between € 0.10 and € 0.20 for Kwh in an outlet in the sector.
- Between € 0.20 and € 0.40 for KWh on a public charging station.
- Between € 0.50 and € 0.80 for KWh on a compressor.
Electric bike, electric scooter and electric scooter: an economic and ecological charging
If you use an electric bike, an electric scooter or an electric scooter for your daily trips, the installation of solar panels can also offer you economic and environmental advantages.
In fact, the electricity consumption of these light vehicles is much lower than that of an electric car. Therefore, even a small system of solar panels can be enough to cover a large part of the charging needs.
In addition, by recharging your bikes, scooters or electric scooters with solar energy, actively help to reduce carbon footprint and promote more sustainable mobility.
Reload the time and power for the bicycle, the electric scooter and the scooter with solar panels
IMPORTANT: Charging times and the necessary power vary according to several factors:
- Electric vehicle battery capacity: The greater the battery capacity, the greater the charging time.
- Power of the solar panel system: The greater the system of the system, faster is the recharge.
- Suns of Sunshine: The direct sun influences the electricity production of the solar panels, therefore the charging speed.
Here are the approximate estimates:
Electric bike:
- Charging time: 3-5 hours (for a battery of 250 WH)
- Power required: From 300 to 500 toilets of solar panels
Electric scooter:
- Charging time: 4-7: 00 (for a 500 W battery)
- Power required: From 500 to 800 toilet of solar panels
Electric scooter:
- Charging time: 2-3 hours (for a 300 W battery)
- Power required: 200 to 400 toilet of solar panels
