How to Install Solar EV Charging (Rooftop Reality Check)
Sizing panels for your kilometres, costs, net-metering questions and honest payback.
By DigitalNepal · Updated 2026-10-04
Solar + EV is beautiful when sized right: daily km decide panel size, and grid backup covers cloudy weeks.
Steps
1Size from kilometres
Daily km × consumption = daily kWh needed. Size panels for that plus 20% losses.
2Price the full system
Panels, inverter, structure, wiring, permits. Compare against years of grid bills honestly.
3Ask about net metering
Export rules decide economics. Confirm current NEA policy for your connection type in writing.
4Maintain to produce
Dust cuts output sharply in dry months. Monthly cleaning and annual inspection.
Good to know: Oversized quotes are common. Get the sizing math in writing from two vendors before signing.
