Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Mermaid Beach: 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 Mermaid 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. We look after Mermaid Beach and the surrounding suburbs of Nobby Beach, Broadbeach and Mermaid Waters, so a free on-site measure in 4218 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Mermaid 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.

About Mermaid Beach
John Oxley came up this coast in 1823 aboard the cutter HMS Mermaid, and the beach later took the vessel's name. Around 1924 R. G. Oates Estates put 70 lots up for auction as the Mermaid Beach Estate, split by what was then called the New Coastal Road. A local first came on 24 August 1975, when Queensland's first McDonald's opened its doors here.
Homes this close to the surf live with constant salt spray, so corrosion-rated panels, stainless fixings and an inverter tucked out of the weather are worth insisting on, and regular rinsing helps keep output up.

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.

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.

Often, yes, subject to body corporate approval and the building supply. We can provide the technical details your body corporate will ask for.
