Salford is fast becoming a hub for home energy innovation. From new developments to retrofitted terraces, solar panels are springing up across the city — and EV chargers are following close behind.
Why Pair Solar with an EV Charger?
Combining solar panels with an electric vehicle charger lets you:
Charge your car for free using solar energy
Avoid peak-time charging tariffs
Reduce your lifetime vehicle running costs
Stay future-ready as petrol becomes obsolete
Salford’s Renewable Energy Shift
Areas like MediaCityUK and Ordsall are seeing a sharp rise in homeowners investing in renewables. Solar panels are being installed on older homes, new builds, and commercial buildings alike — often paired with battery storage or EV charging.
How It Works
Solar panels generate energy during the day
That power flows into your home or to a battery
Your EV charger draws on the stored or real-time solar energy
The app lets you schedule charging to maximise solar use
Key Benefits
Save hundreds per year on charging costs
Use green energy instead of fossil fuels
Boost property value and future-proof your home
Reduce reliance on grid electricity
System Features
Smart monitoring apps for solar + EV
Sleek, wall-mounted chargers
Compatibility with all major electric vehicles
Timed charging to make the most of sunshine hours
Flat Roof? No Problem.
Salford homes and offices with flat roofs are great candidates for solar. Panels can be mounted on angled frames to optimise sun exposure, ensuring you get the most power from your system.
What to Expect During Install
Survey to assess roof, power usage, and EV needs
Tailored system proposal
Installation within 1–2 days
Full training and setup of apps and charger
Thinking Ahead
As more Salford residents switch to EVs, having solar + EV charging installed now is a step ahead of the curve. It reduces your costs, increases convenience, and helps protect you from rising grid prices.
