EV charger installation in Main Beach
Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV chargers for Main Beach, planned around your home
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 Main Beach we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
The central Gold Coast takes in the high-rise strip from Broadbeach to Main Beach, the canal homes of Bundall, Benowa and Isle of Capri, and family suburbs like Ashmore, Nerang and Carrara. From Main Beach to nearby Southport and Labrador, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Being close to the water, Main Beach 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.

Getting to know Main Beach
In Southport's early days, visitors took a boat across the Broadwater just to surf on this beach, and that role as the town's main surf beach gave it its name. The state government sold 252 perpetual lease blocks from December 1922, and the Jubilee Bridge in 1926 opened things up. Reclaiming land along the Nerang River in the 1950s created the Tedder Avenue precinct, and the old name Southport East gave way on 1 September 1967.
Surrounded by surf, seaway and Broadwater, homes here get salt from every direction, so marine-rated components and sheltered battery placement are basic requirements, and apartment owners will usually need body corporate sign-off.
