Tesskat EV Hub
Home Energy + EV Planner
Plan a complete house setup for solar panels, battery storage, inverter, EV charger and future EV charging needs.
House-first planning tool
Build the right solar, battery and charger setup for your house
Tesskat EV Hub estimates what solar, battery, inverter and EV charging setup may suit your house first, then suggests EV options based on daily mileage and charging access.
Your house and roof
EV charging support
EV details are used to check what the house can support. The main recommendation remains the house energy setup.
Tariff from Settings
Using UK estimate — Standard UK estimate
This planner uses your saved peak import rate of 28p/kWh and export rate of 15p/kWh when estimating solar, battery and home energy benefit.
Change your tariff in Settings if you want the planner to use a different supplier or rate.
Change energy tariffTrust and installer checks
Use certified installers before buying
Tesskat EV Hub gives planning estimates only. Before ordering solar, battery storage, inverter work or an EV charger, check installer certification, warranties and any grid connection requirements.
• Use an MCS-certified installer for solar and battery work.
• Ask for written product warranties and workmanship warranty details.
• Confirm whether DNO/G98/G99 grid notification or approval is needed.
• Treat Tesskat EV Hub results as planning estimates, not final quotes.
• Tesskat EV Hub does not require subscriptions or sales call-backs.

Cost notes
• Best general estimate for a UK EV household combining solar, battery and smart charging.
• EV savings depend strongly on mileage, home charging share and tariff choice.
• Final quote should confirm charger installation cost, main fuse capacity and DNO requirements.
Compatibility checks
• Main fuse capacity should be checked before EV charger installation.
• Load management may be needed if the home has high electrical demand.
• DNO/G98 or G99 requirements should be confirmed by the installer.
• Smart tariff compatibility depends on charger, car and energy supplier support.

Recommended house brands and models
These are example product categories and model suggestions for the house setup. Final compatibility depends on installer design, stock, DNO/export rules and exact property survey.
Why these products were selected
The recommendations are matched against your roof size, roof material, shading, home energy demand, EV charging access, main fuse size, budget style and existing solar, battery or charger status.
A higher fit score means the product type is better aligned with this house setup. Final product choice still depends on installer survey, electrical checks, stock availability and compatibility.

Important note
Planning estimate, not a final quote
This tool gives an early planning estimate for a house energy setup. It is not a quotation, installer survey, electrical design, DNO application, structural assessment or product guarantee. Final system design still needs roof measurements, electrical checks, main fuse/load review, DNO/export confirmation, product compatibility checks and installer approval.
No sales pressure
Tesskat EV Hub does not require users to submit personal details to see an estimate. The aim is to help users understand options before speaking to installers or suppliers.
Product data note
Product recommendations are based on Tesskat curated data and may change as manufacturer specifications, availability, certification, installer compatibility and UK market pricing change.
