Can I charge the ARI Poly electric car with a balcony solar system?
Electromobility is on the rise - but how sustainable is it really when the electricity comes from the socket? The answer is: very sustainable if it comes from a balcony solar system. In this article, we show you how you can easily charge your ARI Poly with solar power from your own roof, balcony or garden - without complicated technology or high costs.
What is a balcony solar system anyway?
A balcony solar system (also known as a mini PV system or plug & play solar system) usually consists of one or two solar panels, an inverter and an optional storage system. It is connected directly to a normal socket and feeds the electricity generated into the household grid.
The energy generated can be used immediately by connected devices - and this is exactly where the ARI Poly comes into play.
Charging ARI Poly directly with solar power - is that really possible?
Yes, it is possible! In combination with an intelligent storage system such as the Anker Solix, you can specifically control how much electricity flows into the household grid and when - and therefore also how much is used to charge your ARI Poly.
Example:
On a sunny day, your balcony solar system produces around 1200 watts. While basic consumers such as the WLAN router, refrigerator and lighting are supplied, there is enough electricity left over to charge the ARI Poly with up to 400 watts - without the need for a public charging station and virtually free of charge.
Advantages: ARI Poly charging with balcony solar
-
Sustainable: 100% renewable energy - CO₂-free and environmentally friendly
-
Cost-effective: Own solar power replaces electricity from the energy supplier
-
Gentle on the battery: slow charging extends the service life
-
Simple & flexible: No electrician required, ideal for tenants and homeowners
-
More independent on the road: Particularly useful for short journeys and city trips
Technical requirements & tips
-
Solar system: e.g. 600-800 watt balcony power plant
-
Inverter: suitable for the system, usually included
-
Storage system (optional): e.g. Anker Solix for electricity buffering
-
Power measurement & control: via app for monitoring generation & consumption
-
Charger for ARI Poly: included with every vehicle as standard
Important: The charging process takes longer than with a wallbox - but you charge completely emission-free and almost free of charge.
Conclusion: Balcony solar & ARI Poly - a perfect combination
Charging your ARI Poly with solar power from your own balcony shows just how simple and efficient sustainable mobility can be today. The combination of a compact electric utility vehicle and your own electricity production saves money, protects the environment and offers maximum independence - especially for short distances in urban areas.
Our tip: Install a small PV system now, charge the ARI Poly - and let the sun work for you!
