* NOTE: Based on an industry rule of thumb is that 20-amp service will roughly give you the ability to add miles of range in an hour—just as 15 amps will add about 15 miles in an hour of charging. These numbers are somewhat optimistic and are more dependent on your driving habits and geographical terrain (going over mountains takes more energy).

Power: The power component of a battery system defines the maximum amount of power that can be transferred in and out of the battery at any given time.

Energy: The energy component defines the usable amount of energy that can be stored in the battery for later use.

Keep in mind that some plug-in hybrids can take advantage of a faster rate. BESS is limited to 20-amps, but it’s still wise to use solar powered energy from the battery at a slightly lower charge rate than using grid power for all your charging needs. Based on your average drive distances, total charging times may rarely exceed 3-4 hours and can be done while you are relaxing or sleeping.

The system also includes an Automatic Transfer Switch that will switch the EV charging needs back to the grid incase there is not enough power stored in the system to fully charge your vehicle so you are never left without a charge (on cloudy days for example).
