EV charger services

Solar + EV charger integration — charge from the sun

If you've got solar on the roof — and most Mildura homes do — pairing it with the right EV charger turns surplus daytime export into free vehicle charging. We install Zappi, Fronius Wattpilot and myenergi chargers that read your solar export in real time and adjust the EV charge rate to match. Done well, you can charge an EV almost entirely on solar export, even on cloudy days, without ever exporting back to the grid for cents. Done badly, you'll pull from the grid every time. We get it right.

Frequently asked questions

Can I charge my EV from my solar panels?+

Yes — with a solar-aware EV charger like Zappi, Fronius Wattpilot or myenergi, the charger reads your solar export in real time and adjusts its draw to match. End result: most of your EV's charge can come from sun rather than grid. We install all the major solar-aware brands across the Sunraysia.

What if my solar export is variable on a cloudy day?+

Solar-aware chargers handle this automatically. As your export rises and falls (sun in and out, household load changes), the charger ramps up and down with it. Some chargers have an 'ECO+' or similar mode that allows a small grid top-up so you never charge below a minimum rate; others stay strictly on solar-only.

I've got a home battery — should the EV charge from the battery overnight?+

Depends on your goals. If you've got cheap off-peak tariffs, it's often better to charge from grid overnight at cheap rates and leave the battery for home use. If you're on a flat or peak tariff, charging EV from battery overnight makes more sense. We'll talk through your tariff with you.

How long does it take to install an EV charger?+

Most home EV chargers we install in Mildura take 3-4 hours on site, from arrival to walk-through. If a switchboard upgrade is needed it adds another half day. From the time you call us to the day the charger's on the wall is usually 1-2 weeks.
