Yeah, I meant photovoltaic with PV. At least in Europe it’s gotten really cheap.
There are mutiple ways to use the energy that is stored in electric cards. There’s “Vehicle to Load” (V2L) for plugging appliances directly into the car, “Vehicle to Home” (V2H) for connecting your home to the car and “Vehicle to grid” for connecting the car to the power grid and selling the stored energy.
“Vehicle to load” is also useful when going camping or when you need power when there’s no outlet near you. You just need a car that supports it and a small adapter.
From what I’ve been told by people I know irl (in Germany) that have a house it would have been over thousand euros just for the power connection.
To me who has neither a house nor a car, a solar panel sounds like a lot of money. Getting them used probably isn’t good either?
The power connectors for cars sound cool.
In America it’s gotten cheap too. You can buy panels at harbor freight these days
