Why homeowners choose it
Built around how you actually charge
Your cheapest energy
Self-consumed solar avoids the retail rate, several times the feed-in tariff.
Higher self-consumption
An EV is the easiest large load for soaking up midday generation.
Battery friendly
Correct setup stops the car competing with your home battery.
Still charges at night
Overnight off-peak charging remains available as another mode.

Typical scenarios
Common Newcastle property patterns
Home with rooftop solar and a car parked during the day
Retirees, shift workers and anyone working from home are the best fit for surplus-only charging, because the car is there while the array is generating.
Fronius system already installed
Native Wattpilot integration avoids adding separate metering hardware.
Solar plus a home battery
Priority is set so the battery is reserved before the car takes surplus.
Shaded block
Tree cover on New Lambton and Lake Macquarie blocks makes generation patchy, so a blended mode with a guaranteed minimum rate usually works better than surplus-only.
FAQs
Solar EV Charging questions
How much solar do I need for surplus charging?
It depends on the charger and whether you're single or three phase — surplus-only charging needs enough spare generation to meet the charger's minimum rate. We check your system's export pattern before recommending a mode.
Will it work with my inverter?
Chargers with their own CT clamp work with any inverter brand.
Can I use solar and a cheaper overnight window together?
Yes — solar during the day and scheduled overnight charging is our default setup. Which overnight rate applies depends on your retailer plan, so check your bill.
