Can I schedule charging my EV at specific times of the day?
Yes, make sure your charger is activated and connected to WiFi. In the mySolarEdge app, tap
‘Schedule’ under the EV Charger menu. Turn on the Schedule option. You can select start
and end times as seen below. Use the scheduled charging mode to enable charging at
specific
times during the day. By default, charging will use solar power, and if needed, also use grid
power. Scheduled charging is recommended if you have varying electricity rates (TOU tariffs),
so you can limit grid charging to specific off-peak hours, when grid rates are lower—saving
you money.
Tip: Check your local electricity tariffs to determine the preferred charging times
Note: ‘Multiple scheduling’ feature will be supported from version
Can I charge my EV from 100% renewable energy?
Yes. If your charger is installed at the same site as a SolarEdge
system, and is directly connected to a consumption meter, you can
use Excess Solar Mode to charge with up to 100% sun power.
To do this, tap on ‘Solar Activation’ under the EV Charger menu. Turn
on the activation to charge from excess solar power whenever it is
available. Excess solar charging will be triggered when the amount of
excess solar surpasses the car minimal charge power required (1.5
kW).
*Please note that solar-integrated charging will result in slower
charging speeds, and is subjected to available solar energy.
