Rolec EV, a British provider of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, has entered into a strategic partnership with Solar Advisory Service. The collaboration signals the company's intention to expand its product portfolio into solar-integrated charging solutions, a segment gaining traction as fleet operators and site owners seek to reduce energy costs and grid dependency.
The partnership combines Rolec EV's expertise in charging hardware and installation with Solar Advisory Service's solar design and advisory capabilities. This positioning allows the company to offer customers a complete package: site assessment, solar system design, and compatible EV charging infrastructure delivered and installed as an integrated solution.
For electrical contractors and installers, the partnership opens new revenue streams. Installation engineers can now offer customers a dual-service proposition—solar generation paired with managed charging—rather than treating the two systems separately. This approach appeals particularly to commercial and industrial sites where daytime solar output can offset charging loads directly, improving return on investment for both technologies.
The move reflects broader market trends. Energy costs and grid constraints are prompting businesses to explore decentralised energy solutions. Combining solar generation with smart charging management reduces reliance on peak-rate grid power and provides greater energy autonomy.
