Overall a great experience. It's great to have a company where you can talk to people who know what they are doing. They were extremely professional. From initial office staff through to the engineer doing the installation. I would strongly recommend them.

Can you use solar panels to charge EVs?

Can you use solar panels to charge your EV? Yes! 

Using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, to charge your EV is not only more sustainable, it’s also free once you’ve invested in home solar panels and a solar compatible EV charge point. We’re approved installers for many of the world’s leading EV charger manufacturers, plenty of which use solar to charge your EV. See below for our recommendations for the best solar compatible EV chargers.

With an impressive 7.4kW of power output, the VCHRGD Seven provides 25 - 30 miles of charge per hour.

MyEnergi Zappi 

Also available with a socket or tethered, the MyEnergi Zappi is a future-proof EV charging solution that takes advantage of home solar panels and wind generation to give you free travel miles.
