Charging from the grid just moves your fuel bill onto your power bill. We install home and business EV chargers that run on the solar you already generate, so you drive on sunshine. One local team, since 2008.
From the first site visit to ongoing support, we handle it all in-house: charger selection, switchboard checks, installation and set-up with your solar. One local team, one point of contact, no subcontractors.

Installed end to end by our own accredited team, never subcontractors
Solar-synced charging so your car runs on what your panels produce, not grid power
Safe, compliant installation with ongoing support and monitoring for years
Plug into the grid and every charge adds to a power bill that keeps climbing, undoing much of the saving of going electric.
We install a smart charger that draws from your solar first, then set it up to charge when your panels are producing, with our own accredited team.
Solar charges the car by day, a battery can top it up after dark, and smart scheduling keeps costs down. Backed by fifteen years of local installs, one team throughout.
Not just a charger on the wall. Kilometres powered by your own roof, for a fraction of the cost.
Charge from the solar you already generate and cut the running cost of every trip.
Charge when your solar is producing or on off-peak rates, automatically, through the app.
Powering an EV on your own solar costs a fraction of petrol and far less than grid charging.
A setup ready for a bigger battery or a second vehicle, supported by the team that installed it.
Four ways we set up charging, from a simple home charger through to solar-synced and fleet charging.

A few of the things EV owners ask before they start. Have another? Talk to a specialist.
It depends on your vehicle, how far you drive and your switchboard. We match the charger to your car and habits so you get sensible charging speeds without paying for capacity you will never use. Your free consult gives you an exact recommendation.
If you charge while the sun is up, a solar-synced charger can draw from your roof first, so most of your charging is free power. Add a battery and you can charge on stored solar after dark too. We will show you honestly what your solar can cover.
