EV charger installation in Samford Valley
A 7kW home charger adds around 40km of range an hour, and with solar it can cost close to nothing.
EV chargers for Samford Valley, 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 Samford Valley we can also pair the charger with new solar or a battery so it all works together.
North Brisbane and Moreton Bay run from Albany Creek and Strathpine through North Lakes and Narangba to Caboolture and Bribie Island, taking in the Redcliffe Peninsula and acreage around Samford and Dayboro. From Samford Valley to nearby Samford Village and Ferny Hills, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Plenty of Samford Valley 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.

Getting to know Samford Valley
Until 1981 this was all just Samford. That year the old locality was divided in two, with Samford Village keeping the town and Samford Valley taking the surrounding land to the west, north and east. The valley has stayed largely rural since, and locals run their own volunteer support group, the Samford Support Network.
Large rural residential blocks leave room for ground mounted arrays, but surrounding ridges can cut winter sun early in the afternoon, so placement needs a proper look at the horizon.

Can I charge my EV from solar?
