EV charger installation for homes and businesses
Charging at home costs a fraction of using the public network, and it happens while you sleep. Solarcore Energy Ltd installs smart chargepoints matched to your supply, your parking and the way you actually drive, then tested and certified before we hand them over.
Every installation starts with a check of your incoming supply and consumer unit. That tells us what the property can safely support, whether load management is needed, and the tidiest route for the cable run.
Chargers we install
We fit units from GivEnergy, Tesla, MyEnergi (Zappi), Hypervolt, SolarEdge, Andersen, Simpson & Partners and Solax. They differ on app quality, tethered or untethered leads, load balancing and looks, so we talk through the shortlist rather than defaulting to one brand.
Call 07375 791841 and we will tell you which charger suits your supply.

Why charge at home
Grant support is available towards some installations through the government chargepoint grant schemes.
Overnight charging
Around 7kW adds 25 to 30 miles of range an hour, so overnight covers most mileage.
Cheaper per mile
An EV tariff with a low overnight rate costs a fraction of public charging.
Charge from your roof
Solar-aware units prioritise surplus generation over grid import.
Scheduled and tracked
App control sets charging windows and shows exactly what each charge cost.
Fitted properly, first time
We look at where the car sits, which side the charging port is on and how the cable reaches without stretching across a walkway, then plan the route to keep visible cabling to a minimum.
Chargepoints need their own circuit with the correct protection. We install it properly, check earthing arrangements and fit load management where the supply calls for it.

Workplace and commercial charging
Charging matters to staff deciding where to work and customers deciding where to stop. Getting it right on a commercial site is mostly about electrical capacity and how the cost is recovered, not the hardware on the wall. Sites generating their own power can charge vehicles directly from it, which works well alongside commercial solar.
Capacity first
We survey the incoming supply and existing load before recommending anything.
Billing and access
Restrict access to staff or fleet cards, bill users and report energy per charge.
Multi-bay planning
Cable routes, protection and future bays planned in one go, so expansion is simple.

Common questions about EV chargers
A few things come up on nearly every survey. Here are the honest answers.
How fast will my car charge?
A standard home chargepoint delivers around 7kW, adding roughly 25 to 30 miles of range an hour. Overnight that covers far more than most daily mileage.
Do I need a special tariff?
You do not need one, but an EV tariff with a cheap overnight rate makes a significant difference. Smart chargers schedule into those hours automatically.
Can I charge from my solar panels?
Yes, with a solar-aware charger. It can use surplus only, top up from the grid, or run on a mix depending on the mode you choose.
Tethered or untethered?
Tethered has the lead attached, which is convenient day to day. Untethered looks tidier and copes with different connector types.
Will my supply cope?
Usually yes. Where it is tight, load management shares capacity between the charger and the rest of the property.
How long does installation take?
Most single chargepoint installations are completed in half a day, including testing and app setup.
