Modern Vespa

I 'm about to plan for a solar charger setup for my Vespa Electrica. I can go two ways - I guess... Straight to the 48 volt battery - or use the standad pigtail (220 volt here) and the built in charger.

Has anyone else made such a setup ?

I have asked Renergy about a design, and they like to know the specifications for the charger. Does anyone know about the built-in charger ?

Why don't you use a balcony power plant (German: "Balkonkraftwerk") and feed 600/800w into the house grid?

You will not reach the peak load of the charger, but have a yield in the time in which you are not charging and the sun is shining.

Is this for a mobile setup on a van / motorhome, or something to increase the Green factor of home charging?

From memory, the Elettrica charges at about 1500 watts in Europe.

Anker produce battery packs with their own charging system, and these would be great for a storage unit, or a van / camping setup.

No. With solar systems, there are basically two systems (feeding into the domestic grid, electricity not consumed is fed into the public grid vs. a stand-alone solution (e.g. mobile homes, boats, etc.). I am talking about the first one here.

In the EU it is allowed to install a 2 panel with maximum 600/800w (depending on country) output by yourself (plug in at a standard outlet) without complex paperwork. (Not sure about the localized rules/law but it is general EU-law). All installations above 600/800w output (AC)/230V need complex paperwork (for taxes, etc.) and you will need an authorized electrician-gay.

A "balcony solar system" is designed so that any moron who can put a few cables together can easily install it himself (e.g. on a balcony). The goal is not to cover the entire consumption of a house/apartment, but to cover the basic load (refrigerator, freezer, router, etc.).
