Why plan the system together?
Solar panels, a home battery and an EV charger all affect how electricity moves around the property. Planning them together helps avoid awkward upgrades later and makes the system easier to use.
What each part does
- Solar panels generate electricity during the day.
- Battery storage stores spare solar or cheaper off-peak energy for later use.
- EV charging adds a major load that should be scheduled and managed sensibly.
Using smart tariffs
Some homes can use cheaper overnight electricity to charge a battery or EV, then use stored energy during more expensive periods. The best approach depends on tariff, vehicle, battery compatibility and household routine.
What E-Fix checks
E-Fix checks the roof layout, inverter size, battery position, EV charger location, consumer unit, earthing, cable routes and monitoring before recommending a design.
