Solar-plus-storage system adoption is rising, particularly in California and Hawaii, driven by net metering policy changes encouraging energy self-consumption. Given the right energy management solutions, bidirectional charging, or V2X, could add significant storage capacity for these systems.
And in the case of vehicle-to-grid, allowing electric vehicles to discharge energy back to the grid, bidirectional charging can also stabilise the grid. Ultimately, this technology has the potential to improve the resilience and sustainability of our energy systems, making them more efficient and reliable.
Bidirectional charging allows an electric vehicle to both charge its battery from the electrical grid and discharge energy back to the grid or another electrical system. This capability will not only enable emergency backup power for homes and businesses but also allow users to alleviate grid strain and reduce energy costs.
Given the right energy management solutions, bidirectional charging, or V2X, could add significant storage capacity for these systems. In addition, pairing a V2X system with stationary batteries can improve overall system efficiency and provide a more seamless transition of the home to backup mode.
