The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption presents a unique opportunity for electricians to expand their services and grow their businesses. With energy prices on the rise and feed-in tariffs decreasing across Australia, homeowners are actively seeking smarter ways to maximise their solar power investments. This is where forward-thinking sparkies, can step in.
By offering solar-compatible EV charging solutions, electricians can differentiate themselves in a competitive market, upsell on solar projects, and help customers take full advantage of their renewable energy systems—all while positioning their business at the forefront of a high-growth industry.
What is Solar EV Charging?
Solar EV charging allows energy from solar panels to power electric vehicles. Using photovoltaic (PV) technology, sunlight is converted into electricity, which is then used to charge an EV’s battery. This system leverages clean, renewable solar power rather than relying on grid electricity, offering a sustainable and cost-efficient solution.
Stand Out with Solar-Compatible EV Charging
As consumer demand for sustainable living increases, the EV and solar energy markets are creating new opportunities for electricians. Homeowners are increasingly seeking smarter ways to manage their energy, and solar-compatible EV chargers are the perfect solution.
A recent survey by the Electric Vehicle Council revealed that nearly half of EV owners want to take control of their charging to take advantage of solar and off-peak pricing, presenting a valuable opportunity for electricians to offer tailored solutions that help consumers maximise their savings with solar-compatible chargers.
With solar feed-in tariffs on the decline—and some regions of Australia even charging homeowners to send excess power back to the grid—you can offer a game-changing alternative: redirecting surplus solar energy to charge their EVs. This cost-saving, eco-conscious upgrade positions you as an expert in a rapidly growing market. Stand out by delivering solutions that meet rising demand and exceeding customer expectations.
Upsell Solar Projects with Smart EV Charging
Installing or upgrading solar systems provides the perfect opportunity to upsell solar-compatible EV chargers. For example, recommending a smart charger like the Zappi AC Solar Charger can add significant value to your projects. These chargers are designed to prioritise solar energy, allowing homeowners to use surplus solar power to charge their EVs instead of feeding it back into the grid. This not only increases your revenue but also enhances your clients’ overall energy efficiency—a win-win for both parties.
