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 Aldeburgh 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 Aldeburgh
Pairing a solar panel system with your EV charger in Aldeburgh means driving on free electricity. With 1,050 kWh/m² annual solar irradiance, Aldeburgh 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 Aldeburgh households driving 10,000 miles/year, that is a saving of up to £500–£1,000 annually versus petrol at current prices.
Grants Available in Aldeburgh
Suffolk Warm Homes Local Grant (East Suffolk Council). IP15/IP16 eligible.
EV chargers qualify for 0% VAT when installed at the same time as a solar panel system. We assess all available grants during your free survey.
Free EV Charging Potential in Aldeburgh
Aldeburgh's coastal position delivers 1,050+ kWh/m² annual irradiance — among the highest in England. Unobstructed sea horizons to the east and south, combined with maritime breezes that keep panels cool, maximise generation efficiency. This high solar yield means more surplus electricity available for EV charging via a Zappi — Aldeburgh homeowners with solar panels can expect 3,000-6,000 miles of free driving per year from solar alone.
