Why homeowners choose it
Built around how you actually charge
Your cheapest energy
Self-consumed solar avoids the retail rate, several times the feed-in tariff.
Higher self-consumption
An EV is the easiest large load for soaking up midday generation.
Battery friendly
Correct setup stops the car competing with your home battery.
Still charges at night
Overnight off-peak charging remains available as another mode.

FAQs
Solar EV Charging questions
How much solar do I need?
Roughly 1.4kW of genuine surplus is needed to start single-phase surplus-only charging.
Will it work with my inverter?
Chargers with their own CT clamp work with any inverter brand.
Can I use solar and off-peak together?
Yes — solar during the day and scheduled off-peak overnight is our default setup.
