NRG Solar can take care of your electric vehicle charger needs. We supply and install Zappi and Delta electric car chargers. Or if your new EV comes with its own charging station like Tesla does, we can install it for you. Don’t leave it to an ordinary electrician—trust your solar investment and EV charger installation to South Australia’s solar experts.
The EV chargers we recommend and install are compatible with a wide range of electric vehicle (EV) makes and models, including Audi, BMW, BYD, EQC, Kia, Hyundai, Holden, Honda, Jaguar, Mazda, Mini, MG, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mercedes Benz, Polestar, Porsche, Renault, Rivian, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, Tesla, and more.
The Fronius' Wattpilot incorporates an intelligent charging procedure, charging purely from surplus energy and will only draw from the grid during the interim. As well as the capability to be paired with your Fronius monitoring, you get complete insight to where your energy flows to and from.
The Delta EV charger delivers high-performance efficiency, fast charging times and includes international safety certifications for your peace of mind. Not to mention easy installation and remote access via a mobile app and Wi-Fi.
Trust the installation of your Tesla Wall Connector EV charger to Adelaide’s Premium Certified Tesla Installer. Tesla Wall Connector offers fast charging and, as you would expect, the high performance and stylish good looks Tesla is renowned for.
Use solar + battery storage to charge your electric vehicle faster at home.
Forget about rising fuel prices. Charge your car from clean, green, homemade power.
Play your part in reducing CO2 emissions and moving the planet closer to net zero.
No more queuing. Control when you want to charge and choose your energy source.
Choose home EV charging as an addition to your NRG Solar rooftop solar system or an existing system. As South Australia’s premier solar company, we are pleased to also be an expert EV charger installer.
When we install your NRG Solar system it is designed to be future-proof. This includes being adequately sized to charge an electric vehicle now or in the future. If you buy an EV later, this means you won't need to add extra solar panels or battery storage to cater for vehicle charging.
What if you already own an electric car? There are a wide range of EV home chargers that are an excellent way to maximise your return on solar investment while enjoying the convenience of fast, ‘smart’ EV charging at home.
Alternatively, if your new EV comes with it’s own charging station, we can install it for you. Don’t leave it to an ordinary electrician—trust your solar investment and EV charger installation to South Australia’s solar experts.
Home charging is the most common way to charge an electric vehicle. There are two home charging options:
1. You can charge your EV from a regular three-pin power point connected to an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) cable. This is called a Level 1 EV charger.
2. Or you can install an EV home charger, known as a Level 2 EV charger. This is a wall-mounted unit with a connected charging cable or attachment socket.
One of the biggest benefits of a Level 2 home EV charging station is that it will charge your vehicle in about half the time of a Level 1 charger. This is why most electric car owners opt to install an EV home charging system. Some vehicles are supplied with a home charging station.
But not all EV home chargers are equal. With a smart EV home charger, such as Zappi, you can choose when you charge your electric car and which sources of electricity you use. For example, if your rooftop solar system is producing excess electricity, Zappi can divert it to car charging instead of exporting power to the grid. Or you can instruct Zappi to utilise the most economical combination of grid and self-made energy.
For people who combine EV ownership with a solar PV system, there is the opportunity to charge your car from 100% self-generated renewable energy. This not only eliminates fuel bills and drives higher return on your solar investment, it also moves the planet closer to zero net carbon emissions.
The principle of charging an electric vehicle is always the same—you connect the vehicle to an electrical power source and energy flows into the vehicle’s batteries. However, the speed at which charging occurs can vary widely between charging systems.
There are three different types of EV chargers:
Level 1 EV charger: Uses AC power and plugs into a standard three-pin power outlet using a Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) cable. This is the slowest charging method and best suited to EVs that have small batteries.
Level 2 EV charger: Uses AC power and attaches to an EV charger commonly used in homes, apartment blocks, commercial car parks and some public charging stations. A Level 2 charger will take approximately half the time of a Level 1 charger to achieve a full charge.
Level 3 EV charger: Uses DC current for super-fast charging, up to 50 times faster than Level 2. Level 3 chargers are only found at public EV recharging stations.
Zappi is a Level 2 EV charging unit. This means you get the convenience of safe, fast charging at home, plus the benefits of an intelligent energy management system that maximises savings and renewable energy use.
Your investment in an electric vehicle indicates that, like us, you’re passionate about the planet and your pocket. You appreciate that renewable energy is not just an affordable alternative—it’s the future of energy and a key to reducing humanity’s environmental impact.
This is why you should trust your solar investment to NRG Solar. Whereas an ordinary electrician will do what you ask, an accredited NRG Solar technician will understand how your solar products work together to create an integrated solar energy solution. This is how you reduce your solar payback period, slash your power and fuel bills, and lighten your carbon footprint.
As well as being certified solar electricians, we are trusted experts in the products we install. This ensures that your home EV charger is installed safely and correctly. You also know that you’re in safe hands. If you have any questions, our technicians are only a phone call away.

Dyann's motivation to get solar came down to the financial benefits she knew it could offer. With high quarterly power bills, Dyann knew this money could be going to better use.
Along with solar, Dyann added two Tesla Powerwall’s in order to capture the excess power the system produces. Her family stores that energy to power their home at night, and allows them to have greater independence from the grid.
After a site visit and consultation, our NRG Solar Consultant designed a solar and battery system that forecasted quarterly savings of over $1,400. That's an estimated annual saving of nearly $6,000!
We asked Dyann how her decision to go solar has changed how she uses her power...
"Since the installation of solar I have become so much more in tune with my daily power consumption. I don't just chuck on the dishwasher after a day of dirty dishes - I set a timer and put it on during the day and let my solar system power it for me."
NRG Solar also installed a Tesla charging station at the home...
Dyann explained that, "we can now charge our car with excess power from our solar system, so essentially free petrol. In fact, we have two properties with charging stations in each, so we can drive between each with a 0% carbon footprint!"
This is a fantastic example of how solar energy can be used to power our lives, and move towards a greener future.

Smart charging subsidy
To further support the uptake of electric vehicles, a new EV smart charging subsidy is being introduced for South Australian households. The Smart Charging Subsidy will provide up to 7,500 subsidies of up to $2,000 to households installing EV smart charging systems.
A subsidy of up to $2,000 will be available for the first 7,500 approved EV charging systems.
The subsidy will be limited to one (1) subsidy per NMI number.
Details on how to apply for the subsidy will be released by the SA Government soon. Register your interest on their website to receive further updated information and content.
The subsidy is available until the 7,500 subsidies have been fully committed or 30 June 2026, whichever occurs first.
