The solar panels on your roof once installed become part of the "grid" to where if you use less than the production the power is pushed back to the grid and your meter will spin backwards.
What makes these panels pay back VERY quickly is if you utilize net metering - which is to minimize electrical usage in the say so most power is fed back to the utilities, at peak rate. And at night, buy the electricity at off-peak, and that's when you'll do the charging, etc.
I suspect a super quick payback for wranglers... When it comes to solar panel investment. I dare to say that my JL on 37's is costing almost 0.25/mile of fuel... So driving a conservative 10k miles a year that's $2500 of gas savings... No joke indeed.
