This dashboard was used in developing the EV-Solar Purchase Program concept for the Connecticut Green Bank. An EV-Solar Purchase Program encourages the combined use of solar PV technology and EVs. A partnership between a lead financing organization and local vendors would draw on the aligned interests and pooled resources of stakeholders to accelerate the adoption of both EV and solar PV technologies. A program that deploys solar and EVs together can help consumers realize the economic and environmental value of powering a home with solar and driving an EV.
The program is a community-based marketing and financing campaign that seeks to scale-up solar and EV deployment statewide. Local partners engage and educate consumers about the benefits of charging EVs with solar compared to driving conventional gasoline vehicles. Solar vendors would play a key role in engaging their customer base and spreading knowledge of EVs.
