Charge Your Electric Vehicle Using Solar — Not the Grid

Most homeowners don’t realise this, but the value of solar has changed. Energy retailers are now paying as little as 1 cent per kWh for excess solar sent back to the grid. That means the energy your home generates during the day is often being sold for almost nothing.

There’s a smarter way to use it.

Instead of exporting that power, you can use it to run your home and even your car.

Do You Already Have Solar?

If you already have solar installed, there’s a strong chance you’re exporting a portion of your energy every day. With feed-in tariffs dropping, that exported energy isn’t delivering the return it once did.

By installing a smart EV charger, you can redirect that excess energy into something far more valuable, powering your vehicle. Many homeowners see this as one of the fastest ways to improve the return on their existing solar system.

For homes without solar, we can design a complete system that brings everything together from the start, ensuring your EV charger, solar, and battery all work seamlessly.

What Makes a Smart EV Charger Different?

Not all EV chargers are created equal.

Basic chargers simply draw power from the grid whenever your car is plugged in. Smart systems, however, actively respond to your home’s energy usage and solar production in real time.

Instead of guessing when to charge, the system automatically detects when excess solar is available and adjusts charging accordingly. Some systems can even monitor changes every few seconds, ensuring your vehicle is always using the most cost-effective energy available.

This level of automation means you’re not just charging your car, you’re optimising how your entire home uses energy.

Premium EV Charging Systems We Install

At Max Power Electrical, we focus on installing high-quality systems that integrate properly with modern homes.

We work with trusted brands like Enphase and Sigenergy, both known for their advanced energy management capabilities.

Enphase systems are ideal for homeowners who want a straightforward, app-controlled experience, with intelligent scheduling and real-time solar tracking built in. They’re designed to make solar charging simple and reliable.

Sigenergy systems take things a step further, offering deeper integration between solar, battery storage, and EV charging. With features like solar surplus charging and future-ready bi-directional capability, they are designed for homeowners who want a complete energy ecosystem rather than a standalone product

Why a Battery Changes Everything

For many households, the biggest limitation of solar is timing. Energy is generated during the day, but is often needed in the evening.

A battery solves this by storing unused solar energy for later use, including charging your EV overnight.

This not only increases your self-sufficiency but also reduces your reliance on peak electricity pricing. Over time, this is where the most significant savings tend to come from.

Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home

Every home is different, which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

The right system depends on factors like your electrical setup, whether you have single or three-phase power, how often you drive, and whether you already have solar or plan to install it.

We typically install chargers ranging from 7kW to 22kW, but the key isn’t just speed, it’s ensuring the system integrates properly with your home so you get the best long-term value.

A Proper Installation Matters

Installing an EV charger isn’t just about mounting a unit on the wall.

It requires a full understanding of your home’s electrical capacity, ensuring everything is compliant, safe, and ready for future upgrades. In some cases, a switchboard upgrade may be required to handle the additional load.

Our team handles the entire process, from initial assessment through to final setup, making sure everything works exactly as it should from day one.
