Planning to charge your electric vehicle at home? Here's everything you need to know about home EV chargers and integrating them with solar.
In this article
With more of us switching to electric vehicles, home charging is becoming essential. And if you have solar panels, you can charge your car with free, clean energy.
Most EVs come with a 3-pin plug charger, but a dedicated 7kW wallbox will charge your car 3-4 times faster and is safer for regular use.
Smart EV chargers can be programmed to charge only when your solar panels are generating excess electricity, maximising your self-consumption.
Pro tip
Bigger isn't always better. A well-sized system matched to your usage patterns will often outperform an oversized installation.
“The payback period for our system was just 6 years. Now we're essentially getting free electricity and earning from our exports.”
