Solar EV Charging
Business & Fleet Solar Charging
Commercial solar EV charging for workplaces, destinations and fleets — larger rooftop or carport arrays, multiple charge points and load management that cut both fuel and energy bills.
Turn your roof and car park into a fuel station
Business and fleet solar charging puts generation and charging on your own premises: solar on the roof or over the car park, charge points for vehicles and staff, and the controls to run them together. Vehicles that sit on site through the working day are charged from the strongest solar hours — turning a roof that was doing nothing into the cheapest fuel a fleet can buy.
It works for van and car fleets returning to a depot, workplaces offering staff and visitor charging, and destinations — hotels, retail parks, visitor attractions — that want charging as a draw. The bigger and more predictable your daytime energy use, the better solar fits.
How business and fleet solar charging works
- 1 We review your site, your half-hourly energy data, your roof or car-park area and how the fleet is used across the day and week.
- 2 A larger rooftop or solar-carport array is sized to your daytime demand, with a battery added where it improves the numbers.
- 3 Multiple charge points are installed — from 7-22kW AC for all-day charging to DC rapid units for quick turnarounds.
- 4 Smart load management shares the available supply across vehicles and staggers charging so you never breach your grid capacity.
- 5 Solar powers the vehicles and the building first; any surplus is exported for revenue, and reporting shows exactly what you generated and used.
The commercial case for charging on solar
On-site solar hedges your business against volatile electricity prices and cuts the running cost of an electrifying fleet at the same time — two of the largest and least predictable line items for many operators. Charging vehicles from your own generation, rather than at public rates, is where the payback stacks up fastest.
There are commercial incentives too: qualifying plant and machinery can attract capital allowances, on-site generation reduces Scope 2 emissions for ESG and tender requirements, and staff or customer charging becomes a visible sustainability benefit. We design commercial systems around your load profile, your fleet's duty cycle and your grid connection, and coordinate the install around your operations.

Frequently asked questions
What size solar system does a fleet or workplace need?
It is driven by your daytime electricity demand, the number and type of vehicles, and the roof or car-park area available. We review your half-hourly consumption data and the fleet's duty cycle, then size the array — and any battery — to match, so you generate what you can actually use on site.
Will charging several vehicles overload our grid connection?
Not with smart load management, which shares the available supply across the charge points and staggers charging so your site never exceeds its capacity. Combined with on-site solar and, where useful, a battery, it lets you add charging without an expensive grid-connection upgrade in many cases.
