☀️ Charge from your own solar — free km from your roof

A 4kWp home solar system generates approximately 3,400–3,800 kWh/year in Ireland. Without a home battery, typically only around 20–30% of that can be diverted to EV charging via a smart charger like myenergi Zappi — the rest covers household use or exports to the grid. That's roughly 4752–7966km of free driving a year in the Elroq, more if you're often home during daylight hours.
