Nissan's solar energy system could slash your electricity bills

UK homeowners could reduce their energy bills by sharing electricity across their car and house, Nissan says. The firm says by linking an electric vehicle, home power grid, battery storage and solar panels, electricity could be generated and then resold to the National Grid at peak times – saving money in the process.

The Nissan Energy Solar system would see power collected via solar panels on sunny days and stored in a fridge-sized home battery. Plugging in your EV could also allow excess energy not used for driving shared across the grid.
