SOLAR EV CHARGING IN BANGOR
North Down Electrics installs solar-compatible EV chargers in Bangor, helping homeowners with existing solar panels make better use of the electricity they generate. With suitable charging equipment, surplus solar energy can be directed towards charging your electric vehicle when available, combining convenient home charging with your existing solar PV system.
SOLAR EV CHARGING
CHARGE YOUR ELECTRIC CAR WITH SURPLUS SOLAR ENERGY
If your home already generates electricity from solar panels, a compatible EV charger can provide another way to use that energy. Rather than treating your solar PV system and electric vehicle as completely separate, suitable charging equipment can allow available surplus generation to contribute towards charging the car.
SOLAR-COMPATIBLE HOME EV CHARGERS
Solar EV charging depends on having compatible equipment and a suitable existing solar installation. The charger needs to be installed correctly and configured to work alongside the property's electrical supply and solar generation.
North Down Electrics has practical experience installing EV chargers that integrate with customers' solar panels, including Zappi equipment configured to make use of surplus solar-generated electricity.
USING SURPLUS SOLAR ELECTRICITY
Compatible charging equipment can monitor available solar generation and use surplus electricity towards EV charging when conditions allow, helping homeowners make additional use of energy generated at their property.
SOLAR-COMPATIBLE CHARGERS
Not every EV charger offers the same solar functionality. We can discuss suitable charging equipment and the features available when solar integration is an important part of your home charging plans.
INSTALLATION & CHARGER SETUP
The EV charger still requires a properly planned electrical installation. We consider the electrical supply, charger position and cable route before installing, testing and setting up the charging equipment.
BRINGING HOME EV CHARGING & SOLAR TOGETHER
Solar generation changes throughout the day and across the year, so solar EV charging isn't about assuming your panels will always provide everything your vehicle needs. Instead, compatible equipment gives you the option to make use of available surplus generation when it is there.
North Down Electrics has completed installations where customers specifically wanted their new EV charger to work alongside their solar panels. This gives us practical experience of installing home charging equipment where solar integration forms part of the customer's requirements.
