SOLAR & EV INTEGRATION SYSTEMS
IN ESSEX & EAST LONDON
Charge your electric vehicle directly from your solar panels for genuinely free, clean electricity. KLIC ELECTRICAL designs and installs integrated solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging systems across Essex and East London — optimised to maximise self-consumption and minimise grid costs.
Integrated Solar & EV Charging in Essex & East London
Solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging work together as a system — but only if they are designed to work together. The Myenergi Zappi EV charger, for example, communicates directly with Myenergi's solar diversion hub to detect surplus solar generation and route it to your car rather than exporting it at low SEG rates. The result: every surplus solar unit goes directly into your EV's battery, at zero cost.
KLIC ELECTRICAL specialises in designing and installing integrated solar and EV systems — not just bolting components together, but creating a genuinely optimised energy ecosystem for your home. We combine solar PV, home battery storage (GivEnergy, Solax, Tesla Powerwall), and smart EV chargers (Zappi, Ohme, Easee) into a single integrated system with unified monitoring and control.
What's Included in an Integrated Solar & EV System
Full Energy Audit
We analyse your electricity consumption, typical EV mileage, and driving patterns to model the optimal solar array size, battery capacity, and EV charger type for your specific situation.
Integrated System Design
A holistic system design covering solar PV, hybrid inverter, battery storage, and EV charger — with full energy flow modelling showing expected self-consumption, grid import, and annual savings.
Full Installation
Solar panels, hybrid inverter, battery unit, and EV charger all installed by our team in a coordinated installation, typically completed in 2–3 days.
Solar Diversion Configuration
Solar diversion configured and tested — confirming your EV charger correctly detects surplus solar generation and switches between solar-only, solar-plus-grid, and full-grid modes.
Unified Monitoring App
Energy monitoring app configured to show solar generation, battery state of charge, grid import/export, and EV charging status in one dashboard — from a single smartphone.
MCS Certificate & Part P
MCS certificate issued for solar and battery, Part P certificate for EV charger installation. All documentation provided for SEG registration, insurance, and property records.
Why Integrate Your Solar, Battery & EV Charger?
The sum is greater than the parts — a properly integrated system maximises your return on investment.
Maximised Self-Consumption
Without integration, excess solar that you cannot use in the house is exported at 5–15p/kWh. Integrated solar diversion routes that surplus to your EV first (worth 24–28p/kWh to you) and your battery second — significantly improving the financial case for solar.
Genuinely Clean Transport
Charging your EV from grid electricity is cleaner than petrol, but it is not zero-carbon. Charging from your own solar panels genuinely is — effectively giving you free, carbon-neutral transport for as long as the sun shines.
Future-Proof Energy System
An integrated solar, battery, and EV system positions your home to benefit from emerging technologies — including vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging and grid flexibility payments — as they become commercially available in the UK.

Integrated Solar & EV Specialists
in Essex & East London
KLIC ELECTRICAL has designed and installed integrated solar and EV systems across Essex and East London. Our combined expertise in solar PV, battery storage, and EV charging — all under one NICEIC-approved, MCS-certified roof — means you get a genuinely integrated system, not separate components from different contractors.
How Does Solar Diversion Actually Work?
A solar diversion device (built into the Zappi, or provided by Myenergi's eddi/harvi system) monitors your home's real-time generation and consumption. When surplus solar is detected — i.e., generation exceeds household consumption — it diverts the surplus to your EV charger rather than letting it flow to the grid. The charger modulates its output to match exactly the surplus available, even as clouds pass over.
True System Integration
We design solar, battery, and EV charger as one system — not three separate products. Proper integration maximises self-consumption and simplifies monitoring.
MCS Certified Solar
MCS certification on every solar installation — required for SEG export payments and full manufacturer warranty protection.
Zappi Solar Diversion
Myenergi Zappi integration for genuine solar EV charging — your car gets charged with your own free solar electricity before it is exported to the grid.
Battery Storage Option
Add battery storage to store surplus solar for evening use and extend your self-consumption to near 100% of generation.
Essex & East London
Local specialists who understand the typical roof types, grid constraints, and energy profiles of homes in our service area.
Single Dashboard Monitoring
One app showing solar, battery, and EV charging data in real time — so you can see exactly how much free energy you are generating and using.

Solar & EV Integration FAQs
Questions about integrating solar panels with your EV charger in Essex and East London.
Yes — in most cases. If you have an existing solar installation, we can retrofit a solar-diversion EV charger (such as the Myenergi Zappi) and connect it to your existing solar generation. Compatibility depends on your current inverter and whether a current transformer (CT clamp) can be installed to monitor your generation. We assess this during your survey.
The saving per mile varies by your electricity tariff, but at current rates (approximately 24–28p/kWh from the grid vs. ~0p/kWh from surplus solar), charging a typical EV from solar saves around 4–7p per mile compared to grid charging. For a driver covering 10,000 miles per year, this represents a saving of £400–£700 annually in EV running costs alone.
The Myenergi Zappi is widely regarded as the best solar-diversion EV charger in the UK market. It communicates with Myenergi's monitoring ecosystem (harvi, eddi, hub) to divert surplus solar to your car accurately and intelligently. The Ohme Home Pro also has solar diversion capability and works well with homes on Octopus Agile tariffs.
Yes — significantly. A home battery can store surplus solar that your EV cannot absorb in real time (e.g., excess generated while you are at work), then release it to charge your EV in the evening. This can effectively increase the amount of free solar electricity your car uses from 30–40% to 60–80% of your total annual EV charging.
Yes — this is exactly what KLIC ELECTRICAL does. Using a single contractor for all three components ensures the system is designed as an integrated whole, reduces overall installation time, eliminates compatibility issues between components, and typically reduces total cost compared to using three separate contractors.
This depends on the brands chosen. A Myenergi ecosystem (Zappi + eddi + hub) is controlled via the myenergi app, which shows generation, EV charging, and hot water diversion in one place. Solax and GivEnergy also have comprehensive apps covering solar, battery, and EV charging. We configure your chosen monitoring app during commissioning and walk you through it at handover.
