# How Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology Can Transform Home Solar and Energy Storage
The solar industry evolves rapidly, and one of the most exciting developments is the integration of electric vehicles (EVs) with the grid. At Intersolar & Energy Storage North America 2025, experts discussed how **vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology** could revolutionize energy management for both homeowners and utilities. If you’re considering **solar panels for your home**, understanding V2G can help you maximize your energy savings and resilience.
## What Is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Why Does It Matter?
V2G technology allows EVs to **act as mobile energy storage units**, feeding electricity back into the grid when demand is high. Essentially, EVs become “batteries on wheels,” providing backup power and stabilizing the grid. This is similar to home solar battery systems but with added flexibility, as your vehicle can store and distribute energy dynamically.
For homeowners with **a solar array for home use**, V2G presents an opportunity to store excess solar power in an EV during the day and then either use it at night or sell it back to the grid when rates are higher. This process
