Formula and meaning
Annual vehicle energy demand is compared with available PV surplus to determine the remaining grid energy.
E₍charge₎ = km · consumption / 100 / η · PV share = min(PV surplus, E₍charge₎)
Estimate PV share, grid energy, and annual charging cost when charging with solar surplus.
Set the inputs and run the calculation.
Annual vehicle energy demand is compared with available PV surplus to determine the remaining grid energy.
E₍charge₎ = km · consumption / 100 / η · PV share = min(PV surplus, E₍charge₎)
At 15,000 km/year, 18 kWh/100 km, 2,000 kWh PV surplus, and €0.35/kWh, about 67% of charging demand is covered.
PV surplus is treated as an annual energy budget. Hourly matching, storage, seasonal yield, and smart charging control are not simulated.
