Many Tesla owners install a home charging station, which might cost more than they think, to keep their vehicles charged and ready to go every morning.
Most residential solar panels have a power output rating of 250 watts, but there are larger ones with a rating of up to 400 watts of power.
However, if you install 400-watt panels instead, you would only need seven. Of course, these equations have many variables because even one alteration changes everything.

400 Watt solar panel size 79″ X 39″ X 7 panels or 21,567 sq inches or 149.77 Sq Feet of 400 watt solar panel to charge your Tesla.
Assuming:
The sunlight intensity is 1000 W/mē
Wind velocity of 1 m/s
Cell temperature 25 degree Celsius
The air mass index is 1.5
The Right tilt of the solar panel is given based on the latitude of the location.
You can drive for free if you put panels on half your roof.

But what happens if I drive my Tesla to work? Does the PV panels charge a brace of batteries to charge the car's, ahem, battery?
