The car is programmable to only charge itself during off peak hours. I was just looking at solar roof today. For about $30k you get a new roof and three power walls, which are batteries that store the power during the day and you run off the batteries at night. Pretty much you are off the grid with this system.
I'm in San Diego also, we have a great environment for solar.
