Yes! solar-powered EV charging is not only possible, but a great way to reduce your reliance on grid electricity, lower your energy bills and enjoy cleaner, greener driving.
We recommend using a smart, solar-compatible charger alongside your solar PV system and inverter. Excess daytime solar generation is diverted to your EV, and with optional battery storage, you can even extend those gains into the evening.
It depends on your daily driving and household usage. A typical EV (like a Tesla Model 3 or Nissan Leaf) uses around 7–10 kWh per day.
To cover both home use and charging:
-
A 3–4 kW solar system may meet some of the demand
-
A 6–8 kW system can cover most or all needs depending on your energy usage

During a complimentary site survey we’ll recommend the exact size based on your driving and energy profile.

Excellent local solar installer. Just had 21 solar panels fitted, givenergy battery, inverter and car charger. Installation started sooner than I expected and communication was very good. Any issues or queries... read more were answered very quickly and they've done a tidy job. The quality of materials used is better than some others for example the bird guards are metal rather than plastic. I much preferred using a local installer rather than a national company for the quality of installation and follow up. Recommended local company for solar installation.

I was recommended by a friend to approach FitSolar for a quote to install a ten-panel solar system having already obtained quotes from four other local and national firms. Mark... read more Chandler came out to our property to offer friendly advice with no pressure on committing to going ahead with an installation. Mark was very patient in providing a number of quotes for different variations including whether to include batteries to the system or not and how many. The quote that we proceeded on was I consider a fair price, not the cheapest and not the dearest. The installation was carried out by friendly employees, and nothing was to much trouble re agreeing how and where to install the panels and batteries. After the installation ‘both’ Marks visited to inspect the installation and to explain how to manage and monitor the panels and the energy they provide. They mentioned that they monitor all their customers systems, so should an issue arise, which is not expected, they would pick it up before the customer. Highly recommended.

I was recommended FIT Solar by another electrician. From the first contact they were timely, efficient and very knowledgeable. I followed their recommendations and I could not be happier with the outcome. They installed three 5kw batteries, and a 6kw solar panel system. I only have electricity at the house (no gas) and I run an electric vehicle. I charge the car solely at home, heat my hot water and my electricity bill has halved already. I would highly recommend this local company.
