EV Charging for Your Home
Smart EV Charging Integrated with Solar & Batteries
Electric vehicles already offer lower running costs and reduced emissions compared to traditional cars. But the real benefits are unlocked when EV charging is integrated into a solar and battery energy ecosystem.
At Ready Set Solar, we design smart EV charging solutions that work alongside your solar panels and battery system, allowing you to charge your vehicle using your own energy – not expensive grid power.

How Smart EV Charging Works
A smart EV charger connects directly to your home energy system, allowing your vehicle to charge using energy generated by your solar panels. Instead of automatically drawing power from the grid, the charger prioritises excess solar production when it’s available.
When paired with a home battery, surplus solar energy can be directed to the EV once the battery is charged to your desired level or you can have a large battery to soak up as much solar power as possible for evening EV charging.
Why Integrate EV Charging With Solar & Batteries?
Charging an EV from the grid alone can still expose you to rising and complex electricity prices. Integrating EV charging with solar and battery storage allows you to reduce both charging costs and overall household energy reliance and improve the control of your home energy.
Key benefits include:
Solar-powered EV charging
Less grid reliance
Maximize solar self-use
Flexible charging control
Avoid peak tariffs
Cleaner transport energy
When designed correctly, your EV becomes another flexible load within your home energy system – not an added strain.
Smart EV Charging vs Traditional Charging
Traditional EV charging relies solely on grid electricity. While convenient, this approach often results in charging during peak pricing periods, increasing overall household energy costs.
Smart EV charging changes this by dynamically adjusting charging behaviour. When solar production is high, the charger can increase charging output. When solar drops, charging can slow, pause, or switch to battery support depending on your preferences.
Furthermore, with smart charging you can set blocking times to avoid charging your EV when power from the grid is at its most expensive and enable fast charging at free or discounted periods.
Choosing the Right EV Charger for Your Home
Not all EV chargers are the same. Selecting the right charger is critical to maximising the benefits of your solar and battery system.
We consider:
- Compatibility with your vehicle and onboard inverter
- Solar inverter and battery compatibility
- Charging speed and power output
- Home electrical infrastructure suitability
- Integration with battery storage
- Futureproofing for additional vehicles or system upgrades

Designing Your Solar System for EV Charging
Effective EV charging starts with correctly sizing your solar and battery system.
We look at:
- How often your EV is charged
- Typical driving distances
- Daytime vs overnight charging preferences
- Available roof space and solar generation potential
- Battery capacity and discharge rates
Even if a solar system can’t fully recharge an EV from empty in a single day, it can still deliver meaningful daily topups that significantly reduce reliance on grid charging over time.
