EV charger installation in Fingal Head
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV Charger Installation Fingal Head: local, honest, done right
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 Fingal Head 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. We look after Fingal Head and the surrounding suburbs of Tweed Heads South, Banora Point and Chinderah, so a free on-site measure in 2487 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Fingal Head gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Fingal Head
James Cook sighted this headland on 16 May 1770, though there is long-running debate over whether his Point Danger was actually this spot. Robert Dixon mapped the coast in 1840, and the name Fingal shows up on his 1842 map, probably a nod to Fingal's Cave in Scotland with its similar basalt columns. A light station followed in 1872, then a permanent lighthouse in 1878.
Homes this close to the ocean cop constant salt spray, so panel frames, rails and fasteners rated for marine conditions, plus inverters kept out of the weather, make a real difference to how long a system lasts.
