As renewable energy source (RES) tend to be integrated more and more at home and electric vehicles (EVs) take a greater share in the personal automobile market, users see a chance to charge their EVs by micro-RES. In this context, this paper presents a review about opportunities and challenges needed to be overcome by the EV users to implement a vehicle to home system in their homes, as well as the integration of micro-RES. Several practical scenarios are presented, with different demand profiles, by integrating renewable energy that could be used to charge the EV.Keywords Plug-in electric vehicles (PEV), Vehicle to home (V2H), Micro renewable energy source (micro-RES), Challenges
