Why EVs Alone Are Not Enough
Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely seen as the future of mobility — and rightly so. They cut local air pollution, reduce fuel dependence, and offer lower operating costs. But here’s a hard truth:
👉 If EVs are charged using grid electricity that comes largely from coal, their environmental benefit is only partial.
For EVs to deliver their full promise, they must be paired with renewable energy. And that’s where solar power comes in.
At Surya Renewable Energy Systems (SRES), we integrate EV technology and solar energy solutions to give individuals, businesses, and institutions a way to achieve true zero-emission mobility.
Solar + EV: How It Works
Solar panels generate electricity during the day.
The power is routed through an inverter and stored in batteries or directly used for charging EVs.
EVs — whether e-rickshaws, loaders, or passenger vehicles — charge using this clean, self-generated power.
This creates a closed-loop ecosystem: the sun powers the vehicle, and the vehicle delivers clean transport.
Benefits of Charging EVs with Solar
1. Lower Charging Costs
Grid electricity prices are rising, while sunlight is free.
A rooftop solar system can reduce or eliminate your EV charging bills.
2. True Sustainability
No fossil fuel at any stage — solar charging makes your EV 100% green.
Reduces both air pollution and carbon footprint.
3. Energy Independence
Avoid reliance on unstable fuel prices or grid outages.
Perfect for rural areas or businesses operating in remote zones.
4. Faster Payback
EVs already save money vs petrol/diesel.
Solar cuts charging costs further, making your investment pay back in fewer years.
Real-World Use Case: A Fleet Owner’s Story
An SRES customer in Telangana runs a fleet of cargo e-rickshaws for last-mile delivery. Rising grid electricity bills were eating into profits.
We installed a 20 kW rooftop solar system at their depot. Now:
80% of their daily EV charging needs are covered by solar.
Monthly savings of ₹25,000+ on electricity bills.
Their fleet is marketed as “100% solar-powered delivery”, boosting brand reputation.
Where Solar + EV Makes the Biggest Impact
Fleet Operators: logistics companies, delivery startups, and passenger fleets can slash monthly energy bills.
Institutions & Campuses: schools, factories, and hospitals with EV vehicles and large rooftops.
Rural & Semi-Urban Areas: where grid reliability is low but solar potential is high.
Individual EV Owners: home-based solar + EV chargers for daily commuting.
Why Choose SRES?
End-to-end integration: EVs + solar systems from a single trusted provider.
Customized solutions: rooftop solar, ground-mounted, or hybrid systems with battery backup.
Proven track record: 500+ EVs delivered, multiple renewable projects installed across India.
