Charge your car overnight or straight from your solar. A neat, safe home charger installed by electricians who understand solar.
EV Charger Installation Tweed Heads South: 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 Tweed Heads South 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 Tweed Heads South and the surrounding suburbs of Fingal Head, Tweed Heads and Kirra, so a free on-site measure in 2486 is easy to book.

About Tweed Heads South
Not much has been written about how Tweed Heads South was first carved out, so it is best understood by its setting. The suburb lies on low ground beside the Tweed River, about 3 km south of the Tweed Heads town centre, within Tweed Shire in the Northern Rivers. Over the years it has become the base for several of the area's long-standing sporting clubs.
Being low-lying river country at around 6 metres above sea level, it pays to mount inverters and batteries up off the ground and well clear of any garage floor that could take water in a big wet.

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.
