EV Chargers (Domestic)
Installing a dedicated EV charger at your home transforms the electric vehicle ownership experience, providing convenient and cost-effective charging without the need to search for public charging points. With your own home charger, you simply plug in your vehicle when you arrive home and wake up to a fully charged car each morning.
Solar PV installs domestic EV chargers featuring trusted brands including My Energy, Hyper volt and Sig Energy. These smart chargers offer the latest features and connectivity, allowing you to monitor charging progress and schedule charging times to take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity rates.
Why Home EV Charging Makes Sense
The convenience of home charging cannot be overstated for electric vehicle owners. Public charging infrastructure continues to improve, but finding an available charger at convenient locations remains challenging in many areas. With a home EV charger, you eliminate this uncertainty entirely. Your vehicle charges whilst parked on your driveway or in your garage, requiring no additional trips or waiting time.
Cost savings represent another significant advantage of home charging compared to public charging networks. Domestic electricity rates are substantially lower than the per-kilowatt-hour charges at commercial charging stations. Over the lifetime of your electric vehicle, these savings accumulate considerably. Smart chargers allow you to schedule charging during off-peak hours when electricity rates are at their lowest, maximising your cost efficiency.
Home EV chargers deliver faster charging speeds than standard domestic plug sockets. The chargers installed by Solar PV are all rated at 7kW or higher, providing rapid charging that fully replenishes most electric vehicle batteries overnight. This fast charging capability ensures your vehicle is always ready when you need it, without lengthy waiting periods.
Integration between home EV chargers and solar panel systems creates particularly compelling benefits. When your solar panels generate excess electricity during the day, this renewable energy can charge your electric vehicle rather than being exported to the grid. This means you’re essentially powering your car with free solar energy, delivering maximum value from your solar installation whilst reducing your transport costs to minimal levels.
Smart Charging Technology
Modern EV chargers feature sophisticated smart technology that connects to your home WiFi network and integrates with smartphone apps.This connectivity provides real-time visibility of charging status, energy consumption and costs.
You can monitor exactly how much electricity your vehicle is using and track charging progress remotely from anywhere. Solar PV supplies chargers from My Energy, Hyper volt and Sig Energy, all manufacturers known for reliability and feature-rich smart functionality.
These brands are chosen specifically for their proven performance in UK installations and their comprehensive smartphone app support. The chargers are built to demanding European and British standards, designed to withstand outdoor installation and deliver reliable service for many years.

Choosing the Right Charger for Your Needs
Different electric vehicles have varying charging capabilities, and different households have different usage patterns. Solar PV helps you select the charger that best matches your specific requirements.
The team considers your vehicle type, daily mileage, parking arrangements and whether you have solar panels when recommending the optimal charger model.
Tethered chargers come with an attached charging cable, offering maximum convenience as everything you need is permanently connected to the unit. Untethered chargers require you to use your vehicle’s own charging cable, providing flexibility if you own multiple electric vehicles with different connector types. Both options have merits, and Solar PV guides you through the decision based on your circumstances.
For households with solar panels, certain charger models offer superior integration features that maximise the use of solar generation for vehicle charging.
These specialised chargers can monitor your solar output and adjust EV charging rates to match available solar generation, ensuring you use your own renewable electricity wherever possible.
The aesthetic appearance of EV chargers varies between manufacturers and models. Solar PV supplies chargers with contemporary designs that complement modern properties.
The units are compact and professionally installed with neat cable management, ensuring your EV charger looks appropriate in its location.
