Does Perth Solar Warehouse establish my EV charger monitoring connection?

Your EV charger installation location must be in range of an active WiFi access point with a strong signal. Perth Solar Warehouse electricians can then facilitate the connection to the electric vehicle charging portal. It is then the users responsibility to maintain the WiFi connection between the modem and the electric vehicle charger.
PSW Life Support is consistently expanding to include an online database of stocked EV charger WiFi reconnection guides for your ongoing support and convenience. WiFi Reconnect Assistant ›
What should I prepare ahead of my EV charger installation?

2) Your WiFi access details as the technicians will require this to connect your new EV charger to monitoring features and firmware updates.
What is solar-optimised EV charging?
Using of a connected power sensor at the main switchboard, solar optimising your electric vehicle charger variably ramps up and down your electric vehicle charge rate depending on how much excess solar power your home produces before exporting to the grid.
Solar-optimised EV charging is ideal for those who would like to effortlessly power their electric vehicle from the sun’s daily rain of photons. If installed, this feature can be activated and deactivated as required via the product app.
Adding a power sensor (if required) alongside your EV charger installation starts from $890. Reference: EV charging, Additional installation costs ›
Is solar-optimised EV charging essential?
It’s a great feature add-on, but it’s not essential.
It’s possible to manually solar-optimise your charging times and outlets charge rate to match excess energy production.
If you don’t have an energy consumption monitor/power sensor installed with a solar energy system, aim for charging times aligned with peak production periods of the day with not too many big appliances operating in the background. Be sure not to exceed your solar inverters production capacity by monitoring the EV chargers designated app.
Don’t have solar installed? Consider a Synergy EV Add On plan. Super Off Peak electric vehicle charging uses the surplus solar energy on the grid from 9am to 3pm for only $0.082c per unit. It’s important to make sure the product suits your entire energy profile.
If installed, this feature can be activated and deactivated as required via the product app.
Western Power network and WA licensing
Home EV charging in Perth sits on Western Power’s network. Western Power calls the wall-mounted charger Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE): hardware that is permanently installed at the property and delivers energy to the vehicle through the charging cable.
A typical Perth home uses a Standard Connection Service. Western Power defines that service (WASIR, April 2023) as 240V single-phase (+/- 6%) for a new or altered connection within the South West Interconnected System, at:
- 63A single-phase (240V); or
- 32A per phase, three-phase (415V), where the service is available; or
- 32A per phase, split-phase (480V), where the service is available;
and with consumer mains or submain cable not exceeding 35mm2.
Western Power states that a Standard Connection Service with a 7kW single-phase EVSE unit is permitted on either a single-phase or a three-phase site. The electrical contractor must still confirm that site maximum demand stays inside those Standard Connection Service limits, and that a multiphase site meets the balanced connection requirements in the WASIR (section 10.7).
A 22kW charger on this page is a three-phase installation. Western Power’s published EVSE page does not set a separate 22kW allowance. Three-phase Standard Connection Service capacity is 32A per phase (415V) where available. Adding EVSE can change site maximum demand and may require extra or upgraded infrastructure and protection. If the contractor finds that the added load exceeds the connection point, Western Power lists two paths: apply to Western Power for an upgraded connection service, or control site load (for example a smart EVSE with grid import limiting).
For EV charging connections, Western Power requires the consumer main switch to be a circuit breaker. The contractor assesses maximum demand by reference to AS/NZS 3000:2018 as amended (clause 2.2.2 and appendix C, as cited on Western Power’s EVSE page). WA Electrical Requirements (WAER) clause 9.2, as quoted by Western Power, sets minimum domestic consumer mains as 10mm2 copper (single-phase) or 6mm2 copper (three-phase). Those are minimum cable sizes, not a statement that every existing board is ready for a charger.
Installing an EV charger is electrical work. Under the Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991, electrical work in Western Australia may only be carried out by a person authorised by a licence or permit from the Electrical Licensing Board. The official licensing page defines electrical work as work on electrical machines, instruments, installations, appliances or equipment supplied, or intended to be supplied, at more than 50V AC or 120V DC. A fixed EV charger installation sits inside that definition. Electrical work must be carried out through a licensed electrical contractor, who must employ licensed electricians. Contractors must display the licence number (prefix EC) on business materials.
Perth Solar Warehouse carries out EV charger installation through in-house electricians as a McKercher Corporation subsidiary (EC010771). EC010771 is McKercher Corporation’s Western Australian electrical contractor licence. On completion, customers receive an Electrical Safety Certificate for the work performed.
Perth Solar Warehouse is a NETCC Approved Seller. Designers and installers are SAA-accredited for grid-connected solar and battery work. McKercher Corporation holds Bureau Veritas Certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Those credentials sit beside the licence. They do not replace it. Perth Solar Warehouse is not a CEC Approved Retailer.
An express quote still confirms switchboard capacity, cable run, single-phase or three-phase supply, and whether a Western Power connection upgrade is required. Package prices already on this page are unchanged.
