My parents are currently considering installing a photovoltaic system on the roof of their terraced house. Additionally, they are thinking about also installing a photovoltaic system on the carport.
The problem is that the path to the carport crosses several private properties before reaching the house. Therefore, connecting the photovoltaic system on the carport to the house is not an option.
Is there a solution to install a photovoltaic system on a carport without having to connect it to the house?
Thank you!

But is it practical?
It will likely result in a lot of unused electricity.

There’s no reason not to set up standard excess feed-in for your own connection. Anyway, the thread is called "without feed-in."
And I am firmly convinced that having the connection installed is not financially worthwhile.

Taillefer5 Mar 2023 16:33By "without connection," I meant that no hookup to the house can be installed (due to several third-party properties located in between). Maybe that was not the best way to put it, as I’m not very familiar with the technical terminology ;-)
If the garage has no electrical connection, then you could
a) only charge the car with the amount of electricity generated by the garage roof,
b) only charge while the sun is shining, since otherwise no electricity is available.
From a cost perspective, this doesn't make sense. You are buying the photovoltaic system, you are buying the wall box, and you only get a few kWh charged on weekends (in the summer half of the year, maybe also in the evening). A garage roof is not large, so very little usable energy is generated.
Save your money, have an electrical connection installed, and buy the electricity for charging. This is significantly cheaper, and as a bonus, the garage door will work even without sun 😉
