Wow, I just purchased 10 x 440w bifacial panels here in NZ, best price here is 34c\watt, that price includes shipping to my door.
I'm building a PV power station to charge our EV.

HI Mike, I have just over 10kw of panels for our off grid system.
We charge our EV car off solar. I bought a Zappi charger, which has been great. The best thing with it is that it can charge with only excess solar, and also adjusts the charge rate as it goes.
Other chargers I have tried required the current to be set. They could not adjust to clouds or full sun, just one charge rate which meant going and changing the charging current depending on the weather.
Good luck with your system
Pete
