Got Solar Panels? Charge Your EV at Home for Free*
If you’ve already invested in solar panels, you’re reducing both your energy bills and carbon footprint. But there’s an even smarter way to maximise your solar savings. With the EVO intelligent EV Charger from EV OneStop, you can turn surplus solar energy into free fuel for your electric vehicle (EV) right from your driveway.
Whether you’re aiming to reduce your charging costs or get closer to energy independence, pairing your solar setup with the EVO is a smart move.
Maximise Your Solar
Solar panels often generate more electricity than your home needs during the day, especially when the sun is at its peak. Typically, this excess energy gets sent back to the grid for a small return.
When paired with an energy management system, the EVO intelligently detects when your solar panels are producing surplus power. Instead of sending that energy back to the grid, it redirects it to charge your EV. That means you’re using 100% renewable energy that’s generated right on your roof and it’s completely free.
Solar + EVO
While the EVO doesn’t manage solar power directly, it can be easily integrated into a solar charging setup using a compatible energy management device. This setup allows your EVO charger to prioritise solar power when it’s available and automatically switch to grid power only when needed.
With the right setup, the EVO fits effortlessly into a smart, solar-powered home. This helps you make the most of your clean energy investment.
By pairing your solar panels with the EVO, you reduce your reliance on the grid, lower your fuel costs, and make your home energy system more sustainable. On sunny days, you could even charge your electric vehicle for free using clean energy generated right on your roof.
Over time, this smart setup can dramatically cut your charging expenses and shrink your carbon footprint, making every drive greener and more cost efficient.
Smart Charging, Simplified!
EVO supports solar integration, which can allocate any available surplus solar power to the vehicle for a 100% renewable, cost-free charge.
With the EVO app, users have full control of their charger including the ability to set charging schedules and integrate with smart tariffs to save on off peak rates. Alternatively, users can connect their charger to any OCPP app of their choice.
EVO has 3 solar charging modes:![]()
1. ECO uses by day and scheduled grid power at night for cheaper charging.
2. ECO+ uses only surplus solar energy to charge
3. Charge Now offers a maximum charge at anytime
*Charging for 'free' depends on solar system size, usage patterns, and surplus energy available.
