As costs reduce and range increases, electric vehicles are becoming more and more popular, making them a genuine alternative to diesel or petrol vehicles. Of course, EVs need charging from an electrical power source – and EV chargers are the smart boxes that enable this.
Connected directly to your fuse box via high strength cable, EV chargers are the safe and fast way to charge your EV at home. An EV charger installation offers a number of smart features such as remote app access, charge scheduling and cable storage.
While it’s possible to charge an EV from a standard 3-pin socket, this takes a long time and is not recommended as a regular power source. This is because you’d be running a socket very close to its maximum 3kW capacity, which places extreme strain on circuits, sockets and cables.
Domestic EV chargers are rated at 7kW, which allows charging at around three times the speed of a 3-pin socket. This will give you around 25-30 miles range for each hour of charging, allowing most EVs to be charged in around 4-8 hours – ideal for overnight charging, where you can also take advantage of low rate tariffs.
This environmentally-friendly mode of transport is ideal for use in conjunction with a solar PV system, which will allow free charging from a completely renewable source, including overnight charging when coupled with a battery storage system.
Government grants are generally available, covering up to 75% of the cost of an EV charger installation – making a home EV charger not only a socially responsible choice, but also a wise financial investment.
If your business is looking to power a fleet of electrical vehicles for delivery drivers, engineers or sales teams - or if you want to provide facilities for staff and customers – it’s time to explore your options for commercial EV charging.
The simplest types of commercial EV chargers use the same technology as home EV chargers, providing 7kW capacity. However, many commercial buildings will have an upgraded 3-phase power supply, allowing the installation of 22kW chargers – allowing charging at three times the rate of a standard domestic installation. These are ideal for larger or busy EV fleets, providing fast top-ups during the day and complete overnight charges for commercial vehicles with large battery packs.
Combined with commercial solar PV installations and battery storage systems, your charging costs will be surprisingly low... and with grants available for commercial EV charger installations, now is the perfect time to make the move.

No, with modern monocrystalline panels, with a much higher efficiency, more of the suns light is captured, even on overcast days. Also, with the use of optimizers, any shading will not impact the efficiency of the system.
No, although south facing is the optimum positioning as the system will then have the most sunlight available throughout the whole year. With careful design, using our advanced software, we can generate information that will highlight if a system is positioned for maximum benefit and efficiency throughout the year.
