Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. But even as the glossy rectangles become increasingly cheaper and ubiquitous, solar PV alone can't solve the nagging question: What to do when the sun isn't shining?

One of the challenges we face is that our 2020 renewable energy goal was based on doubling solar capacity by 2015. Complexity of solar purchase power agreements and the cost competitiveness of solar energy in various regions of the world are impacting the pace at which we can add solar capacity. MWh per vehicle.

Although currently there aren’t many bidirectional EV chargers out there, all contain internal converters. For instance, solar panels clearly capture the most energy during the day, wind turbines when it is windy, and so on. This means that they can handle the electrical conversion back from DC to AC.
