How Solar, Batteries and EV Charging Work Together
Coordinate generation, storage and vehicle charging around your household's actual usage. LIT is the primary specialist for all three parts.
LIT ElectriciansWhat to specify
Solar PV
- Measure roof area, shade and orientation
- Compare exact panel and inverter models
- Check product and performance warranties separately
Battery storage
- Size usable capacity against evening demand
- Confirm inverter compatibility and monitoring
- Specify backup circuits if backup is needed
EV charging
- Check supply capacity and vehicle charging limits
- Compare load balancing and solar-surplus modes
- Agree cable route, protection and commissioning
Build the plan before comparing prices
- Collect annual consumption and your EV charging schedule.
- Compare solar-only, solar-plus-storage and smart charging proposals on the same tariff assumptions.
- Agree an itemised scope, registration responsibility and commissioning tests with LIT.
This is a planning guide, not a documented customer installation. No customer quotes, measured savings, fixed package prices or verified returns are claimed.
