“We are so pleased to have worked with 3D Energy."
Matt's experience with solar and his wealth of knowledge enabled us to feel confident with his recommendation of what system to use. The crew turned up on time, on the day they were supposed to and completed the job as planned. At all times they were professional and courteous. A great company to deal with.
"Highly recommended!”
Matt and the Crew from 3D Energy were organised, highly efficient, and finished the job ahead of schedule. They had a heavy solar installation workload, as well as rectification electrical and new compliant smoke detector work, and it was all done in accordance with the quote. Matt made the whole process very easy, and has even identified an Energex issue and helped with the fault report.
"We would have no hesitation in recommending them...”
Matt explained everything we needed in detail, in a professional manner and answered all our questions. We never felt pushed or hurried to make a decision but when we did Matt (and Tom) were prompt, helpful and efficiently completed our solar installation. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for any electrical work, and already have done so to family / colleagues.
"I would thoroughly recommend Matt and 3D Energy for any electrical & solar work.”
3D Energy helped with a warranty issue with a faulty inverter installed by another company, I could not have asked for any better service. Warranty went through quickly and easily. We then had Matt move the inverter to a different location at our house. His work was exceptional as well as being very clean and tidy. Matt's communication with what he was going to do, when he was going to do it and cost was also excellent.
"Thank you to Matt and the team, we are very pleased with the work that was done. :D”
3D Energy have just installed a solar system on our property, and the outcome has been exceptional. The solar output has been better than originally expected and I will definitely be using them again for other electrical work needed on our home. They arrived at the specified time, were very thorough, professional and explained the process. I will be strongly recommending them to friends who also need electrical work done.
"I would not hesitate to recommend 3D Energy to anyone considering using them.”
“When I was making inquiries with work colleagues about installing Solar, I was informed about 3D Energy and the installations he had done previously. Matt had been given very high praise for his professionalism and work ethic. I contacted Matt and received a quote and very good explanation on the system, the pricing was competitive and all products used of the highest quality. The installation went well and the finished product not only functions well but looks good, it was evident that Matt had a lot of pride in the work he completes. Thanks Matt and Callum.”
Using surplus solar power to charge your electric vehicle comes with these key benefits
Environmental benefits
Reduce your carbon footprint and create the ultimate sustainability in your energy use.
Economic benefits
Surplus solar charging is an investment that continues to pay off in saved electricity costs.
Become independent from the grid
Eliminate your reliance on the grid and traditional electricity with a solar charging solution.
Here’s how EV chargers work
EV chargers utilise the surplus solar power that’s generated to charge your electric vehicle. Basically, your home’s rooftop solar panels capture sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. That energy is then supplied to the house loads via the inverter and stored in a battery system, if you have one, or surplus is fed back into the grid. Once an EV charger is installed with a new circuit back to the switchboard then that surplus solar power can be used to directly charge your electric vehicle avoiding the need to import any electricity from the grid to charge the car.
EV chargers are pretty straightforward and offer simplicity and sustainability. They allow EV drivers to create the ultimate sustainability in their driving — often, this is that missing piece for EV drivers.
Installing a EV charger for your electric vehicle is simple
Select your system
Choose the EV charging system that best fits your lifestyle and vehicle needs, typically the same manufacturer as the inverter. Browse our range of high-quality options, including Fronius Wattpilot, Solar Edge, ABB, BMW, and Tesla chargers, to get an initial idea.
Consult with our team
Get expert advice from our knowledgeable team. We're here to help you understand the specifics of each system, answer any of your questions, and guide you through the selection process to ensure you find the perfect match for your EV charging needs.
Installation & unlocked savings
Get your new charger installed by our electrical and solar experts. We’ll ensure your system is set up efficiently and correctly so you can enjoy immediate cost savings and reduced carbon emissions.
Have a question about EV charging your electric vehicle?
EV chargers for electric vehicles utilise the surplus solar energy from the solar system. This solar energy is then converted into electrical power via the inverter, which is then either stored in a battery system and the surplus solar power can then be controlled to charge your electric vehicle via the EV charger app settings. This process ensures a green and efficient way to power your vehicle, utilising renewable energy sources.
Yes, most modern EV chargers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of electric vehicle models. This includes popular models compatible with Fronius Wattpilot, Solar Edge, and ABB, as well as BMW and Tesla chargers. However, it is important to check the specifications of your EV and the EV charger to ensure compatibility, as connectors and charging capacities may vary between different brands and models.
The installation process typically involves a few key steps. The first is understanding what kind of charger best suits your needs — or getting a rough idea. The next is consulting with a solar specialist like 3D Energy. We’ll need to investigate the switchboard capacity for a new EV charging circuit, location of EV charger, cable route and length of type to type 2 charging lead. The last step is the installation and quality assurance checks.
Our professional installers will ensure the system is safely and efficiently set up and demonstrate how to use the new charging setup.
The charging time for an electric vehicle using a EV charger can vary based on several factors, including the battery capacity of the vehicle, the power output of the solar charger, 1 phase or 3 phase charging capacity and weather conditions if utulising the surplus solar power charging function (recommended). On average, a EV charger can take several hours to fully charge an electric vehicle. However, on days with plenty of sunlight and surplus solar power, the charging process can be faster, whereas on cloudy or rainy days, it may take longer.
Many governments in Australia offer incentives, tax credits, or rebates for installing solar EV chargers as part of their efforts to promote renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions. These incentives can vary by region and change over time. Definitely look into your local agencies or the relevant government departments for the most current information on available incentives for solar EV charger installation.
