EV Charge Point Integration

Solar-aware EV charging that diverts surplus PV to the car instead of export.

EV Charge Point Integration — UK new build solar installation

About this service

Part S of the Building Regulations already requires EV charge point provision on most new builds. We install solar-aware chargers (Zappi, Ohme, Hypervolt, Easee) that integrate with the home's PV inverter to maximise self-consumption — and pre-wire for second sockets in two-car households.

Who it's for

  • All new-build plots
  • Developers needing Part S compliance

How we deliver it

Every ev charge point integration engagement follows the same four-stage process — design, modelling, installation and handover — with full SAP/HEM compliance documentation produced as part of the installation. We work to MCS standards and our installations are covered by a 20-year insurance-backed workmanship warranty.

The service is delivered nationwide. For developer-volume work (50+ plots) we apply bulk procurement pricing and factory pre-fit, typically delivering 20–30% below retail benchmark. For self-builders we offer per-plot pricing with full integration into your main contractor's programme.

Ev charge point integration for volume new-build programmes

Per-plot pricing locked at procurement. Factory pre-fit on panelised roof cassettes. SAP/HEM modelling for every house type included. NHBC, LABC, Premier and Buildmark warranty-accepted workmanship. 20-year insurance-backed system warranty. We work with developers from 50 plots to 5,000+ across multi-site frameworks — agreed pricing, agreed programme, agreed warranty stack.

For self-builders and architects

Ev charge point integration for one-off custom builds

Engagement from RIBA Stage 2. PV sizing collaborative with the architect. SAP/HEM modelling that gives the architect freedom on glazing ratios and roof geometry. Building Control submission pack ready for the Approved Inspector. 0% VAT on new-build dwellings. Staged invoicing aligned to your self-build mortgage drawdowns. We work with custom-build buyers across England, Wales and Scotland.

How this fits into the FHS compliance pathway

Every FHS-compliant new build must pass three regulatory gates. Ev charge point integration fits primarily into the second gate — design-stage Part L compliance — but has knock-on implications for Building Control sign-off and post-completion warranty:

  1. 1
    Planning permission Most solar PV on new dwellings is consented within the dwelling\'s primary planning consent. Conservation Areas, Article 4 directions and listed-curtilage plots require additional planning consideration — we handle the planning evidence required for these.
  2. 2
    Building Control — Part L compliance SAP 10.3 or HEM compliance modelling demonstrating Dwelling Emission Rate ≤ Target Emission Rate. PV specification, ASHP capacity, fabric U-values and air permeability all entered into the modelling. We provide the full compliance file ready for the Approved Inspector.
  3. 3
    Post-completion — warranty & EPC MCS certificate, EPC, monitoring app onboarding and 20-year insurance-backed workmanship warranty. NHBC, LABC, Premier and Buildmark all accept our installation specification without query — important if you\'re relying on a structural warranty for buyer mortgageability.

Frequently asked questions

Is an EV charger required on a new build?
Yes — Part S of the Building Regulations (in force since June 2022) requires EV charge point provision on most new dwellings. FHS does not change this requirement.
Which EV chargers integrate with solar?
Zappi (myenergi), Ohme Home Pro, Hypervolt Home 3 Pro, and Easee Charge Lite. All offer solar-aware modes that divert excess PV to the car instead of grid export.
Should we pre-wire for a second charger?
For 4-bed+ dwellings, yes. Two-car households are the norm in this segment, and second-charger retrofit is materially more expensive than first-time pre-wiring.
