Charge your electric vehicle at home using clean solar power. OZEV-approved installers providing smart EV chargers across Yorkshire — integrated with your solar system for maximum savings.
Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for Yorkshire drivers — and for good reason. Lower running costs, zero tailpipe emissions, and an ever-expanding charging network make EVs an increasingly practical option for daily commuting and longer journeys alike.
When you combine an EV with a home solar panel system and a smart charger, the economics become even more compelling. You can charge your car directly from your solar panels during daylight hours, effectively fuelling your vehicle for free. A typical electric car travelling 10,000 miles per year consumes around 2,500 kWh — easily covered by a medium-to-large solar panel system, particularly when combined with battery storage.
Leeds Solar is an OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) approved EV charger installer. We supply and install smart home EV charging units from Ohme, myenergi Zappi, Andersen, and Wallbox — all fully compatible with solar panel systems and offering intelligent energy management features.
The myenergi Zappi is the UK's bestselling solar-compatible EV charger — and it's easy to see why. The Zappi intelligently monitors your solar panel output and automatically diverts surplus solar energy to charge your EV, rather than exporting it to the grid.
Operating in three modes, the Zappi gives you complete flexibility:
Eco Mode: Charges your EV using available surplus solar energy only. Your EV charges when the sun shines and pauses when solar generation drops — perfect for maximising free solar charging.
Eco+ Mode: As above, but draws a small amount from the grid if solar surplus alone is insufficient to reach the minimum charging threshold. Ideal for days with partial cloud cover.
Fast Mode: Charges your EV at full speed from the grid — useful when you need a quick top-up regardless of solar conditions.
The Zappi app gives you complete visibility and control: set charge timers, monitor your solar generation and consumption, track EV charging history, and set budget limits — all from your smartphone.
