Yes, solar can support EV charging, but only if your switchboard and system are designed with the extra load in mind.
Astech Solar installs home and commercial EV chargers as Master Electricians first, so charging your vehicle never comes at the cost of overloading your property's power supply.

Because Astech is a Master Electrician business first, EV charger installation is never treated as a simple bolt-on job.
We assess your property's full electrical capacity, current and future, so your charger, solar system and battery all work together rather than competing for the same power.

In most cases, yes. We'll assess your current solar setup and switchboard capacity to confirm the charger can be added safely and configured to draw from your solar power where possible.
Sometimes. It depends on your property's existing electrical capacity. Part of our assessment is checking whether your switchboard can support a charger as is, or whether an upgrade is needed first.
A dedicated home charger typically charges considerably faster than a standard wall socket, meaning a fuller charge in less time, particularly useful if you're charging overnight or between daily trips.
Yes. We install commercial EV charging systems with cost tracking, access control and load management, designed to scale as your fleet's charging needs grow.
