DESCRIPTION:We address a problem that arises at the confluence of three re
 cent trends: the popularity of storage-coupled photovoltaic (PV) systems a
 mongst homeowners\, the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) wit
 h potential for bidirectional energy storage within PV-enabled single-fami
 ly homes\, and third\, the surge in remote working accelerated by the Covi
 d-19 pandemic. In this context\, we explore the joint optimal sizing and o
 peration of domestic homes while accounting for different degrees of remot
 e working and the impact of home energy management system (HEMS) operation
  preferences. This task is complex due to the coupling between sizing and 
 operation and the stochastic and non-stationary nature of solar generation
 \, load\, and EV drive cycles. We introduce SOPEVS (Sizing & Operation of 
 PV and EV integrated Single-family homes)\, a novel framework formulated t
 o tackle this multifaceted challenge. We use SOPEVS to investigate how com
 muting habits and choices in HEMS operation affect the sizing of domestic 
 PV energy systems. Our findings reveal that homeowners who predominantly w
 ork from home and possess bidirectional EVs can potentially eliminate the 
 need for separate home storage systems\, thereby substantially reducing ov
 erall system costs. We also find that configuring a HEMS to maximise charg
 ing through solar energy can achieve savings of up to 80% on total system 
 expenditure (excluding the cost of EV)\, depending on the desired level of
  grid independence and the preferred State of Charge (SOC) of EV at the ti
 me of departure.\n\nBio:\n\nAnaïs Berkes is a first-year PhD Student and
