EV Charging
Smart EV Charging at Home or Work
Charge your electric vehicle conveniently from your own property with a professionally installed EV charge point.
Saltire Solar installs smart EV chargers for homes and workplaces across Scotland, including systems that can work alongside solar PV and battery storage.
EV Charging
Charge at Home. Stay in Control.
Having your own EV charger means you can plug in when you return home and charge your vehicle when it suits you.
Smart chargers can also allow charging to be scheduled around lower-cost electricity periods, depending on your tariff and charger.
For properties with solar PV, compatible chargers can also help make greater use of electricity generated from your roof.
Why Install a Home EV Charger?
Convenient Home Charging
Charge your vehicle from your own driveway rather than relying entirely on public chargers.
Smart Scheduling
Schedule charging during selected times, including lower-cost tariff periods where available.
Solar Integration
Compatible EV chargers can work alongside solar PV so more of your own renewable electricity can be used to charge your vehicle.
App Monitoring
Many modern chargers allow you to view charging sessions, schedules and energy usage from your phone.

Before installing an EV charge point, we’ll assess your electrical supply and how you intend to use the charger. We consider:
- Vehicle requirements
- Available electrical capacity
- Charger location
- Cable routes
- Existing solar PV

EV Charging With Solar & Battery Storage
Make Your Energy System Work Together
Solar panels, battery storage and EV charging can be designed as part of one connected energy system.
During the day, solar electricity can help supply the property and, where the system allows, contribute towards charging your vehicle.
Battery storage can provide additional flexibility by allowing excess solar generation or cheaper grid electricity to be stored for later use.
