Solar + EV Charger Bundles in Columbus: FAQ for Homeowners

Thinking about going solar and driving electric? Good news — you don’t need to piece it all together on your own. At BC Solar, we frequently bundle solar panels, battery storage, and EV charging stations into one streamlined system designed to save you time, money, and hassle.

Here’s what you need to know:

Do you offer solar + EV charger bundles?

Yes. We often install solar, battery storage, and EV charging as a single package — especially for homeowners who want energy independence and long-term savings.

Bundling matters for a few key reasons:

• One cohesive system: Everything works together — no compatibility issues.

• One point of accountability: One installer. One warranty. One phone call if anything needs attention.

• Lower installation cost: Bundling equipment and labor often reduces your overall cost compared to separate installs.

• Maximized incentives: We’ll make sure your system qualifies for Ohio’s solar tax credit and any EV-related federal incentives.

What’s included in the solar + EV package?

Typical bundles include:

• High-efficiency solar panels

• Inverter (usually Sol-Ark or similar hybrid models)

• Battery backup (Lithium-ion, custom-sized for your needs)

• EV charger (Level 2, compatible with your specific EV)

• Smart monitoring and energy usage tracking

If you already have a charger, we can integrate it. If you don’t yet have an EV, we can future-proof your home with wiring and panel capacity for when you do.

Can I use solar to power my EV directly?

Absolutely. With a properly sized system, your solar can fully offset your EV’s energy use. Even better — when paired with battery storage, you can charge your car with solar power even when the grid goes down.

What if I already have solar — can I add an EV charger later?

Yes. We often help homeowners expand their systems to include EV charging or batteries down the road. But keep in mind, it’s often more cost-effective to plan it all at once.

FAQs

How much does a solar + EV charger bundle cost in Columbus?
It depends on your home’s energy usage, the size of the solar system, and the charger model. Most bundled residential installs in Central Ohio range from $20K–$45K before incentives.

Can I get a tax credit for the whole bundle?
Yes — solar systems (and often batteries) qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. EV chargers installed at a primary residence may also qualify under certain federal or utility programs. We help you claim every eligible incentive.

Will my charger still work if the grid goes down?
If you choose a solar + battery system with backup functionality, yes. We design systems to prioritize your critical loads — and for many clients, charging their car is one of them.

Can BC Solar help me upgrade my electrical panel?
Yes. If you need a panel upgrade to support your charger, we’ll take care of it as part of the project.

We believe your solar journey should be simple and worry-free — and that includes preparing for the future of transportation. Whether you're already driving electric or planning to soon, a bundled system is often the smartest, most cost-effective choice.
