EV charger installation in Duranbah
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
Why Duranbah homes choose RS Energy for ev chargers
A standard power point adds only about 10km of range an hour. A dedicated 7kW wall charger is around four times faster, and a solar-aware charger can soak up your surplus solar during the day instead of exporting it for a few cents.
We check your switchboard and main supply, recommend single or three phase charging, and install the charger neatly where your car actually parks. In Duranbah we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. Our ev chargers work in Duranbah also covers neighbouring Tanglewood, Bogangar and Kings Forest, all within about 3km.
- Plenty of Duranbah properties are on acreage, which opens up ground-mounted arrays, sheds and larger systems. Rural feeders also see more outages, so battery backup is popular here.

Duranbah: a local snapshot
Duranbah's best-known business, Tropical Fruit World, was established in 1972 as a working farm that doubles as a tourist attraction. The locality sits on Tweed land traditionally owned by Ngandowal and Minyungbal-speaking Bundjalung people. At the 2011 census only 262 people lived here, so it remains one of the smaller pockets of Tweed Shire.
Elevated rural blocks overlooking the valley usually catch sun from early morning, and working farms with pumps, cool rooms and sheds can use a lot of daytime power, which suits larger solar systems.

Call 0449 942 735How much does it cost to install an EV charger?
A 7kW charger is typically $1,000 to $2,300 installed. If your switchboard needs an upgrade, allow another $800 to $2,200. We give a fixed price after a quick check.
Can I charge my EV from solar?
Yes. A solar-aware charger adjusts its charging speed to match your surplus solar, so you use your own power instead of exporting it. It works best if the car is home during the day.
Do I need three phase power?
No. Most homes are well served by a 7kW single phase charger, which comfortably fills most cars overnight. Three phase allows 11kW to 22kW if your home already has it.
