Unless your car can provide three phase electricity...
No way.

But it is possible when they are lots of used EV that is retired, possible to hack and engineer it to work.


Plus need to address.

1. Full time on/off grid?
2. Nem, off? Meaning self only.
3. Single or three phase.

Basically need a full gen/full battery backup sat to be honest, if you are fully off grid. Because solar will have lots of dips and surge in production.

Gentleman and Ladies. Be kind to each other. Attack the idea , do not attack the.person.

Like I mentioned. I thought of this as well.


1. Is your battery going to be on and off the premise during the day while solar power is charging? Say you have multiple cars and or motorbikes and you have the ability to manage your cars on site time. Which honestly does not work logistically.

2. If you have multiple cars that can be charged and than used, charge and used... Like a fleet. Probably can work.

3. Go watch Matt Ferrell's undecided on his take of Solar power. Got a few video discussing how the Solar grid tied system works. And it applies to battery solar grid tied system too.

4. Once you able to wrap the requirement of TNB grid orffering 60HZ, 230V. Than you can think of a inverter that is smart enough to be grid tied and also hybrid battery.

Btw: NEM requires that if TNB is down, that all back flow of electricity from Solar Nem to also shut down completely, as a safety feature to not electrocute OUR TNB technician doing repairs.

I do not work for tnb... But they are our Technician. Pls be kind to TNB technician.

Since your home already have solar panel installed , why not just upgrade the system to store any excess energy generated for the day?

Calculate the maximum energy your solar panel able to generate and buy enough battery according to maximum generated energy

This is more safe , easy and cost effective  to maintain then buying EV car as an energy storage

My house not yet. My boss house/which I work from, just start to explore solar as the bill jump from rm700 to rm1000 from January 2024.


Battery works, but honestly would not advise the Bosses to get battery system as we have the NEM. Which is the cheapest way to get Solar and enjoy best of both worlds.

Once the NEM ends, if it ever ends, than consider to self supply Battery system.


Solar helps and also is a drag on the Grid on some instances. But it makes sense most of the time.

When weather is hot, people on Aircon, and the solar panels is just right at the peak performance.


However when there is a cascading problem due to supply issues, it can easily become a mode ferk situation that cannot recover unless do load shedding at grid level.
