By generating clean, renewable energy from the sun, you'll reduce the carbon emissions associated with charging an EV. By embracing solar-powered EV charging, you'll produce clean, renewable energy, helping to combat climate change.
Generating your own energy will lower your energy costs and the cost of charging your EV. The savings you make from generating your own solar power will offset the initial cost of your solar package, leading to long-term savings.
Solar panels enable you to generate your own electricity, reducing your dependence on the grid. If you add battery storage to your package, you can have a reliable power supply for your home and EV.
Solar energy doesn't have to stop when the sun goes down. With our solar battery packages, you can store energy for use throughout the night.
All our work is backed by HIES, the Home Insulation and Energy Systems insurance-backed guarantee, as well as being MCS accredited.
E.ON Solar panel customers will receive access to our exclusive, award winning E.ON Home app. View and control the energy flow around your home.
As soon as your solar panels are fitted, we'll arrange a convenient time to come and install your EV charger.
All electric vehicle types are supported by our charger options.
7.4 kW (32A) is the fastest charger that can be installed on the single-phase electric supply found in most British homes. While some vehicles are limited to slower charging rates, they can still be connected to 7.4 kW fast charger as the vehicles on-board charge controller will only charge up to its maximum charging rate. We only offer a 7.4 kW charger as these will ‘future proof’ your installation, allowing for changes to your electric vehicle. You might not be able to now, but in the future, it is likely you’ll be able to charge faster.
In contrast to its reputation, the UK receives plenty of solar energy, making solar panels a worthwhile investment for your home, even during overcast days. Surprisingly, the UK receives a comparable level of solar energy to certain warmer European nations, including Germany, a global leader in solar power generation.
Installing solar panels on your home falls under the category of "Permitted Development," meaning that typical solar panel setups do not necessitate planning permission. However, if your residence is listed, situated within a world heritage site, or if the installation deviates from standard guidelines, then obtaining planning permission is advised.
Regardless of whether your roof is oriented towards the south, east, or west, it is well-suited for solar panel installation. North-facing roofs, however, might experience reduced sunlight exposure, resulting in lower efficiency. The ideal roof pitch for installation ranges between 20 to 50 degrees.
* E.ON Next already supplies customers with 100% renewable electricity. Those on the E.ON Next Drive Fixed tariff can even charge their EVs at the lowest rates, (between midnight and 7am at 9.5p per kWh.) Electricity backed by 100% renewable sources, E.ON's renewable generation assets, agreements with UK generators and the purchase of renewable electricity certificates. The electricity supplied to your home or business comes from the National Grid and DNOs.
1: Price is based on a 6 Panel “Energise” package (on-roof), fitting to concrete tiles (not slate), single elevation of scaffold, with single-phase electrics, and no complexities, for example installing above a conservatory or digging trenching required for electrics.
2: Solar panels and savings are subject to eligibility requirement, geographical restrictions and terms and conditions.
3: These are example figures only, based on standardised MCS calculations. Savings are based on property fitted with a south-facing solar array in central England on a roof with a 35-degree tilt and no shading, with electricity consumption of 4,800 kWh per year (with the customer Home all day), at a tariff rate of 24.5p/kWh. The solar array contains 12 x 435W panels (5.22 kWp) generating 4,881 kWh/year, fitted with a 5.1 kWh (5.1 kWh usable) battery.
4: Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments, are payments for electricity you export to the grid. These savings figures are based on the Next Export Exclusive Premium tariff from E.ON Next of 25.0p per kWh (kilowatt hour) for E.ON Next import-tariff customers who purchase a solar-only solution. For E.ON Next import-tariff customers buying a solar and battery combined package, the Next Exclusive Premium Plus Export rate is 40.0p per kWh.
