How can I set it up so that my electric car only charges with solar power?

Answer:

If your charging station has implemented OCPP 1.6-J and has been tested and verified by Ferroamp, you have the ability to control the charging of your electric car through the EnergyHub system. You can then set up your system to only allow the car to charge when there is surplus solar power production. To allow charging only with solar power, you activate import limitation with an import threshold value of 0 W.

NOTE! Most electric cars require at least 6 A per phase for the vehicle to start charging, which requires an overproduction of approximately 4.2 kW for the car to begin charging.

We constantly want to improve the content in the Knowledge Database and would appreciate it if you give feedback on our articles. Does all the information exist, is there anything that needs to be clarified or is there any information that is missing that would help installing or using the EnergyHub system in general? You can give us feedback by choosing if the article was helpful or not in the options below. 

If you need to get in contact with Ferroamp's Technical Support or if you have any questions about the system, you can do so by creating a ticket here.
