Plan the right installation
What we look at before recommending a charger
The right setup depends on your vehicle, parking space, electrical supply and how you use energy at home. We explain the options in plain English before you make a decision.
Where you park
We consider the distance from your consumer unit to the parking position, cable route and where the charger will be most convenient to use.
Your electrical supply
We review the available supply and existing equipment so the proposed charger and installation method suit your home.
Your energy plans
If you have or plan to add solar panels or a battery, we can discuss charging features that help you make better use of your own electricity.
A joined-up home energy system
EV charging with solar panels and battery storage
Solar panels can supply electricity to your home during daylight hours. Whether that energy reaches your car directly depends on when you charge, the weather, household demand and the charger you choose. A battery may add flexibility, but it is not automatically the best choice for every home.
We assess your roof and electricity use before suggesting a combined system. Our goal is to show you what each part contributes and where the costs sit.

Common questions
EV charger installation FAQs
Can I install an EV charger without solar panels?
Yes. A home charger can be installed as a standalone project. If you later add solar panels, we can discuss the options for working the two systems together.
Will every home need the same electrical work?
No. The cable route, supply, existing equipment and parking position vary from property to property. A property review is needed before a final installation proposal.
Can I charge my car using solar electricity?
Potentially, when your panels are generating enough electricity and your charger and settings support it. Your actual solar contribution depends on generation, other home use and when the car is plugged in.
Do I need a battery with an EV charger?
Not necessarily. The case for a battery depends on your energy use, generation and charging routine. We can explain the trade-offs rather than assuming it is required.
