EV Charger Installation

Home EV charger installation designed to work with your solar panels and battery storage, not against them.

Your EV charger shouldn't operate in isolation. When you pair a home charge point with solar panels and battery storage, every mile you drive can run on energy you've already generated and stored — not on peak-rate grid electricity. Solar panels are the input; the battery is the payoff, holding that daytime generation for when you plug in overnight. Our network of MCS-certified installers designs the whole system together, so your charger communicates with your battery, prioritising stored solar before drawing from the grid. The result: genuine energy independence that extends from your kitchen appliances to your daily commute, all managed through a single app. Submit an enquiry through our web form and we'll match you with a local installer who'll survey your property, specify the right charger, and integrate it seamlessly with your existing or planned solar and storage setup.

Why it matters

Charging from stored solar power shields you from rising public charging costs and grid price spikes, while reducing your household's carbon footprint at the source. You gain the convenience of waking up to a full battery every morning without scheduling off-peak windows or hunting for working public points. During power cuts, a solar-and-battery-backed charger keeps your vehicle ready — resilience that a standalone grid-tied unit can't offer. The integration also unlocks smarter energy management: your system learns your driving patterns and household load, automatically directing surplus solar to the car when the house is satisfied. It's the final piece of a home energy ecosystem that works for you, not the other way round.
