EV Charging Points With Solar Panels
Integrate a solar PV system with EV charging to power your car and home for less.
Cut your charging costs with solar
Lower your car charging costs with a combined EV charger and solar system. Surplus power from your solar panels can be diverted to your car battery, maxising the generation of your system and driving down your household bills.
No more worries about the price of petrol or the inconvenience of finding a public charger. We can install wall or pedestal mounted EV chargers to suit your property.
Is my property suitable?
Most homes are suitable for solar PV and electric car charging points. Each property is unique, so we’ll do a site survey to assess the best location for your equipment.
If you’re just thinking about an EV charger, we can look after the installation for you. We install all major brands including Zappi and Garo.
EV charging for businesses
Businesses stand to gain significantly from the introduction of EV chargers, whether it’s for fleet or staff use. Lower running costs and carbon emissions can help businesses with their sustainability goals.
EV Charging points also provide a useful community benefit, particularly in mixed-use venues. It’s also possible to generate income from a third party software platform, allowing users to pay for their charging.
Battery Energy Storage Systems
