Solar + EV: the obvious pairing
Charge your electric vehicle from your rooftop solar and reduce running costs to almost nothing. A 6.6kW solar system produces enough energy to charge a typical EV daily during summer.
Common questions
helpDo I need solar to own an EV?
No, but solar dramatically reduces running costs. Charging from the grid still costs about a third of petrol. With solar, it drops to near zero. Most EV owners find the combination pays for itself quickly.
helpWhat is the best home EV charger for solar owners?
The Zappi is the industry standard for solar integration, automatically adjusting charge rate to match available solar generation. Fronius Wattpilot is a strong choice if you already have Fronius solar.
helpHow long does it take to charge an EV at home?
A standard 7kW home charger adds 40–50km of range per hour. Most EVs go from near-empty to full overnight (8–10 hours). Faster 22kW chargers are available for three-phase homes.
helpAre there government incentives for EVs in Australia?
Yes. Several states offer stamp duty exemptions or reductions on new EVs. The federal Fringe Benefits Tax exemption applies to eligible EVs used as novated leases. Check your state's current scheme as rates vary and change regularly.
