It’s EV PV

Electric vehicles are no longer an underperforming worthy green novelty.  Prices are falling, performance is rocketing and now you can charge up in under an hour.

If you have solar on your property, it can fuel your car for free.

Beware there are several products on the market that claim to be Solar responsive.  Many will only respond to generation, not excess, which means you could still be using the grid to charge your car.  The only products that are truly Solar compatible that Naked Solar are aware of are listed here.  If you have other products that you believe are truly Solar compatible, please let us know.

Here’s our quick guide to the best EV-PV charging systems on the market.  Home or business, Naked can install all types of EV Charger to your solar array with minimum disruption.  Any questions, call us on 0330 236 9650 .
