Charging that works with the home
Supply capacity, parking, tariffs, solar and battery controls all affect the right setup.
A home charge point is a substantial continuous electrical load, so the incoming supply, consumer unit, earthing arrangement, cable route and other high-demand equipment must be considered before installation. Load management can help keep demand within the property's available capacity.
Where compatible equipment and metering are installed, a smart charger can vary charging around surplus solar generation. Scheduled off-peak charging can also be configured for suitable tariffs. We explain which modes are practical for the proposed solar and electrical setup.
What's included
- Electrical supply and proposed cable-route assessment
- Tethered and untethered charger options
- Load-management design where required
- Solar-surplus charging compatibility review
- App scheduling and customer handover
- Required electrical testing and notification

- Vehicle use and charging window
- Chosen electricity tariff
- Home supply capacity
Common questions
- Can an EV charger use only surplus solar?
- Compatible chargers can follow measured export and vary their charging rate, subject to the charger's minimum power and the available solar surplus. We check equipment compatibility as part of the design.
- Will my electrical supply support an EV charger?
- That depends on the incoming supply, existing loads and network requirements. The assessment determines whether load management or further work is needed.
- Can you install a charger without off-street parking?
- A safe, authorised cable route to a dedicated parking space is normally required. Flats, communal land and cross-pavement routes need additional permissions and may not be suitable.
Real installation photography
Real roofs make the design decisions clearer
These photographs show the variety a survey has to account for. They are genuine installation images, but are not labelled as specific case studies until the matching project records are verified.
A compact residential array
The clearest roof section can sometimes deliver the cleanest, simplest design.
Making use of clear roof space
An open roof face can support a larger, visually consistent panel field.
Working around a complex roof
Rooflights, hips and separate roof faces can all influence a practical array layout.
