Solar EV charging

A future fuelled by solar powered EV charging

The combination of solar energy and electric vehicles offers one of the most compelling ways to cut both your bills and your emissions: the solar EV charger. These systems pair the power of the sun with electric mobility, giving you a cleaner, cheaper way to charge your electric car at home.

A solar EV charger combines two key elements, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and an electric vehicle charging point. The PV panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which then charges your EV directly. By harnessing solar energy first, a solar powered car charger reduces your reliance on grid electricity and lowers the carbon linked to every mile you drive.

Key takeaways
  • A solar EV charger charges your car from your own solar panels, not just the grid.
  • Charge from free daytime sunlight, or store it in a battery for night charging.
  • Solar-compatible chargers use solar first, topping up from the grid only when needed.
  • Pairs with an off-peak tariff so overnight charging stays cheap too.
  • Supplied and fitted by our own MCS-certified team, across the UK.

How it works

How solar EV charging works

A solar EV charger combines two key elements, solar PV panels and an electric vehicle charging point. During the day, your panels generate electricity. A solar-compatible EV charger, sometimes called an eco or smart charger, watches how much solar you are producing and diverts that surplus straight to your car, so you charge on sunshine rather than grid power.

When the sun alone is not enough, the charger tops up seamlessly from the grid or from a home battery, so your EV is always ready when you are. Charge overnight on a cheap off-peak tariff, then let the sun take over by day. The result is a solar EV charging system that reduces your reliance on grid electricity and cuts the running cost of every journey.

Chargers

Solar-compatible EV chargers we install

Not every EV charger talks to your solar. A solar-compatible EV charger is designed to prioritise clean energy, using solar power first and only drawing electricity from the grid when needed. Here is how the main options compare.

Charger typeBest forWorth knowing
Solar-compatible (eco / smart)Homes with solar panelsDiverts surplus solar to your car; grid or battery tops up when needed
TetheredConvenience, one carCable attached and always ready to plug in
UntetheredA tidier look, future-proofingYou bring your own cable, so it suits different connectors

We fit leading solar EV chargers and smart chargers such as myenergi Zappi, Hypervolt, Sigenergy and Tesla, then match the right solar car charger to your solar system and your EV. Already have a charger? Many existing units can be upgraded to a solar-compatible EV charger, so they use clean, renewable power first.

Why it pays

The benefits of a solar powered EV charger

Charging your electric car at home with solar brings together lower running costs, lower emissions and real energy independence.

Cheaper charging
Use free solar first, so more of every charge comes from the sun and less from the grid. Add an off-peak tariff and even night charging stays cheap.
Lower carbon
Charging your EV with solar energy cuts the carbon footprint of every journey and supports cleaner air.
Energy independence
Store surplus solar in an optional battery and charge your EV at night or when sunlight is low, relying far less on grid electricity.
Kinder to the grid
Generating and using power at home helps reduce strain on the grid during peak charging times.

EV charging questions

Find answers to common questions about solar EV chargers, how solar EV charging works and what it costs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, call 0800 999 1454 to speak with our team.

How does a solar EV charger work?

A solar EV charger combines two key elements, solar PV panels and an electric vehicle charging point. The panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity, which charges your EV directly. This reduces your reliance on grid electricity and lowers the emissions linked to charging.

Can I install a solar-compatible EV charger at home?

Yes, a solar-compatible EV charger can be installed at home, provided you have solar panels and a compatible electrical system. These chargers are designed to prioritise clean energy by using solar power first and only drawing electricity from the grid when needed, so your EV is charged as efficiently as possible.

What are the benefits of using a solar powered EV charger?

It helps reduce electricity costs by using solar energy, lowers your carbon footprint, supports greater energy independence by reducing reliance on the grid, and works with your solar system to maximise the use of clean, renewable power when charging your EV.

Do I need a battery for my solar EV charger?

A battery is optional, but it can be beneficial. It lets you store excess solar energy and use it to charge your EV at night or during low-light periods, making your solar EV charging system more efficient.

How long does it take to charge an EV with solar power?

Charging time depends on your solar panel capacity, the power output of your solar-compatible EV charger, and the size of your EV battery. A higher-capacity solar setup can provide faster charging times.

Can I use my EV charger on cloudy days?

Yes, but solar generation will be lower. If your solar EV charging system includes battery storage, you can use stored solar energy when sunlight is limited. Otherwise, the charger can draw power from the grid when needed.

What is required for EV charger installation in the UK?

You need a suitable mounting location, such as a wall or pedestal, and integration with your solar panel system where applicable. Our MCS-certified team handles the full installation for you.

Can I upgrade my existing EV charger to work with solar power?

Yes, many existing EV chargers can be upgraded to a solar-compatible EV charger. This allows your charger to prioritise solar energy usage, helping you charge your EV using clean, renewable power.

Will a solar EV charger work with all electric vehicles?

Most solar EV charging systems are compatible with standard electric vehicles, but it is best to check your charger's specifications to make sure they match your EV's requirements.

How much does a solar EV charger cost?

The cost depends on the charger you choose, the cable run and any solar or battery integration. We give you a clear, fixed quote before any work starts, with supply, MCS-certified installation and aftercare included.

Is a solar EV charger worth it?

If you have solar panels, a solar EV charger lets you charge your car on free daytime sunlight instead of grid power, cutting the running cost of every mile and lowering your carbon footprint. Paired with an off-peak tariff, overnight charging stays cheap too.
