Build your solar plan — no payment until you approve
Configure solarPower Your EV With
Solar Energy
Stop paying for petrol and electricity separately. Combine solar panels with an EV charger and save on both — up to RM800 every month, for 25+ years.
Why Combine Solar with EV Charging?
Your car and your home share the same roof. Make the sun pay for both.
Free Fuel from the Sun
Once your solar system is installed, every kilometre you drive on solar-generated power costs you virtually nothing. No more RM2.05/L petrol receipts.
Double Your Solar ROI
Solar already pays back in 5–7 years from electricity savings alone. Adding EV charging can cut that payback to 3–5 years by stacking fuel savings on top.
Future-Proof Your Home
Malaysia is accelerating EV adoption with over 100,000 EVs on the road by 2026. Installing solar + EV infrastructure now positions you ahead of rising fuel and electricity costs.
Cost Per Kilometre Comparison
Solar EV charging costs 95% less per kilometre than petrol. Petrol equivalent rate: RM 0.15/kWh if you charge from TNB grid at night.
How Solar EV Charging Works
Three things happen automatically every sunny day.
Solar Panels Generate
Your rooftop panels convert sunlight into DC electricity from sunrise to sunset — typically 4–5 peak hours per day in Malaysia.
Excess Charges Your EV
After powering your home appliances, surplus solar energy is directed to your EV charger. Your car battery fills up on sunshine instead of grid electricity.
Drive on Sunshine
Every kilometre you drive has been paid for by the sun. Combined with your lower electricity bill, your monthly outgoings drop dramatically.
Monthly Savings by Car Model
Comparison based on 1,200–1,500km monthly driving. Petrol at RM2.05/L. Solar charging at near-zero marginal cost.
| Car Model | Monthly km | Petrol Cost | Solar EV Cost | Monthly Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proton e.MAS 7 | 1,200 km | RM 590 | RM 55 | RM 535 |
| Tesla Model 3 | 1,500 km | RM 740 | RM 70 | RM 670 |
| BYD Atto 3 | 1,200 km | RM 590 | RM 60 | RM 530 |

- RFID access control + billing system
- OCPP protocol for network management
How Much Solar Do You Need for EV Charging?
Add this extra solar capacity on top of what you need to cover your household electricity.
| Daily Driving | EV Energy Needed | Extra Solar Needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20 km/day | 4 kWh | 1.5 kWp |
| 40 km/day | 8 kWh | 3 kWp |
| 60 km/day | 12 kWh | 4.5 kWp |
| 100 km/day | 20 kWh | 7.5 kWp |
* Based on an average EV efficiency of 200Wh/km and 4.5 peak sun hours/day in Malaysia. Home electricity needs typically require an additional 5–10kWp depending on your TNB bill.
Most EV owners choose a 10–15kWp solar system — enough to cover 80–100% of home electricity and 100% of EV charging on typical days. Our consultants will size your system based on your actual TNB bill and driving habits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about solar EV charging in Malaysia.
Can I charge my EV from solar at night?
Not directly — solar panels only generate electricity during daylight. To charge your EV from solar energy at night you need a battery storage system. The battery stores surplus solar energy during the day and releases it at night for your EV charger. Without a battery, nighttime charging draws from the TNB grid at standard rates.
How much solar do I need to cover EV charging?
An average Malaysian driver covering 40km/day needs roughly 8–10kWh of EV charging power daily. This requires an additional 3–4kWp of solar panels beyond what you already need for your home. A 10kW solar system can typically cover both a household and an EV charging comfortably.
What happens on rainy days when solar generation is low?
Your EV charger automatically draws from the TNB grid when solar output is insufficient. On overcast days in Malaysia, panels still produce 10–25% of peak output — enough to partially offset charging costs. Most EV owners do their heavy-distance driving on weekends and charge lightly on weekdays, smoothing out any weather variation.
Can I install an EV charger without solar panels?
Yes — a home EV charger works perfectly well without solar. A 7kW home charger connected to the TNB grid still costs far less per kilometre than petrol. However, pairing it with solar maximises your savings and gives you near-zero fuel and electricity costs over the long term.
Which EVs are compatible with home solar EV chargers?
All battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sold in Malaysia are compatible with standard Type 2 AC chargers, including the Proton e.MAS 7, BYD Atto 3, BYD Seal, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, BMW iX, Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 6, and Volvo EX30. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) such as the BMW 330e and Volvo XC60 Recharge are also fully compatible.
How much does a combined solar + EV charger setup cost?
A typical home setup — 10kWp solar system plus a 7kW AC home charger — costs between RM28,000 and RM38,000 installed. With monthly savings of RM500–800 on combined fuel and electricity bills, the payback period is typically 3–5 years, after which you enjoy near-zero running costs for both your home and your vehicle.
