    Hi All,

    I think there might be a way… with my limited knowledge of solar systems, EV’s and general electrics!

    you would need 2 different bits of hardware. first is a thing called ‘iBoost’. this is used to heat hot water (via immersion heater) – http://www.solariboost.co.uk/ . this only uses solar power that is avaialble when you are ‘exporting’ back to the grid.

    The second bit of hardware you will need is a granny cable charger that is wired/plugged into the iboost.

    This is all untested but just wanted to throw some ideas out there…

    I’m sure that would work – but the granny cable charger is so expensive (and I’m not planning to get one) that I wouldn’t save money overall.
