EV charger with solar
A 7 kW home charger adds roughly 40 km of range for each hour it runs. The clever part is the setup. A solar-aware charger watches what your panels are making and sends the spare power to the car, so you are not exporting it for next to nothing. Most houses here are single phase, so we also check your main supply and fit load management if the switchboard needs it. Then the charger backs off when the oven and heating are on.
What is included
- A check of your switchboard, main supply and where the car parks
- A 7 kW solar-aware charger supplied and installed by A-Grade electricians
- Solar-only and top-up modes set up, with a timer for off-peak charging
- Load management so the charger does not overload a single phase supply
- Certificate of Electrical Safety for the installation
- A walk through the charger app before we leave
Signs you need this
- You are charging from a normal power point and it takes all night and more
- Your solar exports most of its power while the car sits in the driveway
- An electric car is arriving soon and you want the charger ready
- You want to charge mostly from your own solar where you can
