hello,
I am an owner of a Model S, a Model X and have a Renault Twizzy (big family).
I am charging my electric cars off grid thanks to my 'Solax Power' inverter (model X3), this is an inverter who can start up without the grid!!! The electric vehikels that I've got can handle fluctuating amperage!!! I did test this first with my model S and actually they charge all 3 in the same off-grid way. No need for battery to store your energy!!! I've got 16 kw solar panels on my roofs, to charge from april till september it is enough (I live in Belgium...) but for the rest of the months it is not enough, It may be enough if I triple or more my solar panels put at my current home it is not possible.
As I am always charging at low amperages my battery's wear less, my Model S (end 2014) has 450 000 km's on the odometer for your information.
If you need more information don't hesitate to get in contact with me. For your information, I am not a professional electrician and have nothing to do with the Solax company...
Kind regards
Thanks for the comments. I presently have 9 panels and am trying to build an L1 charging station for my Model 3 without batteries. The trick is to have an inverter that powers up on the panels and then the charge rate is set through the J1772 EVSE by the amount of sunshine. I'll keep reading this forum and see if I can figure out how to do that. Anyone already doing this? Here is my setup so far https://egpreston.com/solarpanels2.pdf
