What you get
Two fast chargers, fitted at no cost, with half the income yours
The chargers come with our fully funded solar deal, called a power purchase agreement (PPA). Our funding partner pays for the solar, and you buy the power it makes at a price per kWh that doesn’t move for 15 years. See how the PPA works.
Two SolaX 22 kW chargers
A kW is the rate power flows, so 22 kW is a fast charge for a car park. They are three-phase, which means they run off the stronger supply most businesses have.
Fitted at no cost to you
Subject to survey, and where you have a car park. You pay nothing to have them designed, fitted and connected.
50% of the revenue is yours
Drivers pay a rate to charge. You keep half of what they pay.
They come with the solar
Check your site for the solar and the car park is looked at alongside it.

Why 22 kW, and why three-phase
A 22 kW charger needs a three-phase supply. A single-phase supply, like most houses have, can’t feed it. The solar needs three-phase too, so a site that qualifies for the solar already has it.
About three-phase and the gridThe car sets the real speed
Many cars can’t take the full 22 kW on this type of charger. Plenty take around 7 to 11 kW. So the longer a car stays, the more charge it takes on.

Proof from North Wales
Lesters Farm Shop in Buckley has the same two chargers
Lesters is a farm shop in Buckley, Flintshire. Its system is 56.7 kW of panels, a SolaX X3 MEGA 50 kW three-phase inverter and two SolaX 22 kW EV chargers. An inverter is the box that turns the panels’ power into the kind a building uses.
The solar is priced at 17p per kWh, against about 23p before, and saves the shop £2,624 a year. The team worked while the shop stayed open and trading.
We don’t print a charging income figure, because it depends on how many drivers use the chargers.
Read the Lesters case studyIn their own words
Two customers on a deal that sounded too good to be true
“I'll be honest, I was a bit sceptical at first. It sounded too good to be true.”
“I was pretty sceptical initially because you never get anything for free in this life. But once Dave broke down the detail and explained to me how it would benefit Crest as an organisation, it became quickly to me a bit of a no-brainer.”

Three worries we hear about the chargers
Is it really free, will the supply cope, and will anyone use them?
Is it really free? What is the catch?
The chargers come with the solar deal, and a survey decides
You pay nothing to have them fitted. The funder earns from the solar you buy at the set price and from spare power it sells to the grid, and it runs a soft credit check on the business. You keep half of what drivers pay to charge. We tell you the catch up front, and the first papers don’t bind you for 10 working days.
Will our supply cope with 22 kW chargers?
They need three-phase, and the survey checks the rest
A 22 kW charger needs a three-phase supply, the stronger kind most businesses and farms have. The solar needs the same, so a site that qualifies for the solar has it. The survey then looks at the cable run and the room on your supply.
Will anyone use them? What if the income is small?
Income depends on your car park, and we promise no figure
What the chargers earn depends on how many drivers stop, how long they stay and what they pay. A busy public car park is different from a quiet staff one. We don’t print an income figure. The survey tells you whether your car park suits, and if it doesn’t, the chargers aren’t fitted.
How it works
From first call to chargers in use, step by step
The chargers go through the same steps as the solar. The solar takes about five to six weeks in the SP Energy Networks area, and up to 12 where the grid operator is slower.
Before you decide anything

MCS-registered installers fit the solar. Lesters Farm Shop stayed open and trading throughout.
- 7
Switch-on and your first bill
The direct debit starts once the system is running. Dave comes back after a month to check your first bill with you.
Your car park and the chargers
What we check about your car park, and what could change the job
Where the bays go
Spaces close to the supply keep the cable run short. A long run can change the job.
Room on the supply
Two chargers running together can draw up to 44 kW. The survey checks your supply can carry that alongside everything else.
Who parks there
Customers, staff or guests. Each group stays a different length of time, and that shapes how well the chargers suit.
Who owns the car park
If you rent, the owner has to agree, as they do for panels on the roof.
Do you qualify?The solar roof
Your site has to qualify for the solar first. Send a postcode and a recent bill and we check your roof on a map.
How to choose
Matching two 22 kW chargers to how long people stay
A straight answer. The longer people stay, the better these chargers fit, and the survey decides for your site.
| Car park | How the chargers get used | More on the sector |
|---|---|---|
| Drivers charge while they visit. Income follows how busy the site is. | Hotels, retail and hospitality and farms and farm shops | |
| Cars sit for a whole shift. Staff and visitors pay a rate to charge. | Warehouses and factories | |
| Guests charge during a stay, often over several hours. | Hotels, retail and hospitality | |
| Visitors, volunteers and staff, usually for an hour or more. | Charities and community buildings, schools and care homes |

Questions
Commercial EV charging: cost, income, speed and who it suits
What does commercial EV charging installation in North Wales cost?
Nothing to fit. We arrange two SolaX 22 kW three-phase chargers at no cost where you have a car park, subject to survey. You keep 50% of the charging revenue. They come with our fully funded solar deal.
How do I earn money from the chargers?
Drivers pay a rate to charge, and you keep 50% of the revenue. How much that comes to depends on how many drivers use the chargers and how long they stay. We can’t promise a figure.
What is a 22 kW three-phase charger?
A kW measures how fast power flows, so 22 kW is a fast charge. Three-phase is the stronger kind of supply most businesses and farms have, and a single-phase supply can’t feed it. Many cars take less than 22 kW, so the car sets the real speed.
Can I get the chargers without the solar?
The free chargers come with our solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where our funding partner pays for the system and you buy the power at a set price per kWh. So the first step is checking whether your site qualifies for the solar. The car park is looked at alongside it.
Which car parks suit the chargers?
Ones where people stay a while. That means public car parks at shops and farm shops, staff car parks, and hotels. A car park where cars only stop for a minute will earn less. The survey decides whether yours suits.
Is there a catch?
The chargers are fitted at no cost, but only where the survey says your car park suits. The solar deal behind them has a soft credit check on the business and a lease on the roof space, and we tell you both up front. Nothing you sign at the start binds you for 10 working days.
Has anyone done this before?
Lesters Farm Shop in Buckley, Flintshire has two SolaX 22 kW chargers alongside its 56.7 kW solar system. The shop stayed open and trading throughout. Samuel, who owns it, says: "It hasn't cost me a single penny to have it all installed."
How long does it take?
The solar takes about five to six weeks from start to finish in North Wales. Where the grid operator is slower, it can take up to 12 weeks. The chargers go through the same steps.
Does my site qualify?
You need a three-phase supply, room for at least 20 kW of panels, and a year of electricity data. The site must not have existing solar. If you rent, the building owner has to agree. Not sure? Send a postcode and a recent bill and we will check your roof on a map. We don’t do homes.
What happens at the end of the 15 years?
You choose. Buy the system for £1, agree a new price and carry on, stay at the same price for five more years and then buy it for £1, or pay to have it taken away. The panels carry a 30-year warranty, so they should make free power for at least 10 more years after a £1 buy-out.
