I Installed Solar Panels On My 89-Year-Old Garage To Make My Electric Car Truly Zero Emissions
by Bradley Brownell
The blending of new technology and old makes me extremely excited these days. Whether it’s the idea of shoving an electric motor into an old VW van, or powering my near nonagenarian home with modern photovoltaics, it gets me so amped. Of course the pun is intended, whatchou think? We downsized and moved into a lovely little Paul R. Williams-designed Lea Steel home in downtown Reno last June, and late last year we decided that it was time to convert as much of our energy use as possible to renewable. And after I bought my Nissan Leaf, I knew it would probably be a good idea to install a level 2 charger. Time to kill two birds with one stone.
I contracted with a local company called Great Basin Solar, which has lots of experience in the industry (basically since there has been a solar industry) and came well reviewed. I couldn’t be happier with the result, honestly. They were backed up almost two months, but once they got on the job, it was done super quickly. Two workers installed the solar and inverter on Monday and one of them came back on Thursday morning to button up the L2 charger.
They went out of their way to make sure the panels installed without puncturing the original steel roof of my garage, ran hundreds of extra feet of wire to get the EV charger on the opposite side of the garage from the inverter, and were super communicative and professional throughout the experience. I’m stoked on it. The end result looks great.
