The myenergi Zappi is uniquely designed to work with solar panels. It detects when your solar system is generating surplus electricity and uses it to charge your EV — electricity that would otherwise be exported to the grid at 12–15p/kWh. For Attleborough homeowners with a 4kW solar system, the Zappi can provide 800–1,500 kWh of free EV charging per year — worth £220–£420 at standard rates.

Solar-Powered EV Charging in Attleborough
Pairing a solar panel system with your EV charger in Attleborough means driving on free electricity. With 1,025 kWh/m² annual solar irradiance, Attleborough generates enough surplus solar to cover 5,000–8,000 miles of EV driving per year at zero fuel cost. The myenergi Zappi is specifically designed to divert surplus solar power directly to your EV — no manual scheduling needed.
Battery + EV: Charge Overnight for 2p/mile
A home battery (GivEnergy 9.5kWh) paired with a smart tariff charges from the grid overnight at 7–15p/kWh, then feeds your EV charger during the day or early evening. This reduces EV charging costs to as little as 2p/mile — compared to 7p/mile at standard home rates or 15p/mile at public rapid chargers. For Attleborough households driving 10,000 miles/year, that is a saving of up to £500–£1,000 annually versus petrol at current prices.

Free EV Charging Potential in Attleborough
The South Norfolk lowlands around Attleborough receive 1,025+ kWh/m² solar irradiance. The flat A11 corridor terrain provides open skies with minimal shading — ideal for both residential rooftops and large commercial installations at Snetterton Heath. This high solar yield means more surplus electricity available for EV charging via a Zappi — Attleborough homeowners with solar panels can expect 3,000-6,000 miles of free driving per year from solar alone.
