Use excess solar power to charge your car

The charge point can work with grid-tied solar system, to detect and use the residual solar power to charge your car that otherwise would be fed back to grid. This can help increase the self-usage rate of the solar system and reduce electricity bill for the household.
The charge point supports 3 charge modes with grid-tied PV system: FAST, ECO and ECO+.

Introduction to the 3 modes for solar charge
FAST Mode: Charge at the rated power, the car can be fully charged in the shortest time at this mode.
ECO Mode:

1. Solar function set the power p range： Pe stands for rated power, P1 stands for Power
   Transferred to Power Grid by Photovoltaic.

2. The power of three-phase charger belongs to（5.3kW-Pe）

3. The power of single-phase charger belongs to（1.8kW-Pe）

4. The condition of changing duty cycle of charger：P2

5. The power of three-phase charger P2=1000W

6. The power of single-phase charger P2=500W

7. Operation mode：

8. When Initial charging, permissible output power of charger p3(P3=P)

9. If P1 ＜ P2, permissible output power of charger P3.(Pe≥P3≥P)

10. If P1≥P2, charger will Increase Permissible Output Power, when detected P1＜P2 or P3=Pe, charger will stop increasing allowable output power, at this time the allowable output power of charger is P3.(Pe≥P3≥P)

ECO+ Mode:
In this mode, the charging point only uses the electricity sent by the photovoltaic inverter to charge the electric vehicle. When the current sent by the inverter is less than 6A, the charging point will stop charging. Please choose this mode carefully.

Wiring
To monitor the real-time power import and export, a CT or meter is needed for this function to work properly.
If CT is used, the wiring will be as below,

If meter is used, please wire it as below

Parameter configuration for this function

1. Connect the charge point to a laptop with a network cable, access the parameter setting page on the web browser of the laptop.
2. Scroll down to find the following parameters of solar mode charge: FAST, ECO and ECO+.
3. Select CT or meter as sampling device of this solar charge function. Scroll down to find the option: External Power Sampling Wiring(0:Inner CT 1:PowerMeter). If CT is used, please set it to 0; if meter will be used, please set it to 1.
4. If you choose the PowerMeter.Plesae change PowerMeter Addr to the address shown on the meter.

Intelligent power modulation

Introduction
The charge point can monitor the total power consumption of the household during charging. If the power consumption approaches the preset max value, the charge point will reduce charge power to avoid the situation of main breaker trip due to overload. It will adjust the charging power dynamically and in real-time thus the car can always be charged with the maximum allowable power.

1. Similar with the solar charge function, a CT or meter is needed to detect the power import. If a CT is used, please wire it as below,
2. If a meter is used, the wiring will be as the following

Parameter configuration for this function

1. Connect the charge point to a laptop with a network cable, access the parameter setting page on the web browser of the laptop.
2. Scroll down to find the following parameter: Power Distribution Enable(0:Disable, 1:Enable) and set it to 1 to activate the power modulation function.
3. Select power sampling device in the field of the parameter: External Power Sampling Wiring(0: Inner CT 1: PowerMeter). 0 means CT while 1 stands for meter.
4. Set the maximum power import value in the field of External Maxlimit Power(kW). To avoid nuisance tripping of the main breaker, it is suggested to set this parameter slightly lower than the max supply power of the property. e.g. the max supply power is 15kW, you can set the max power import to 13kW or 14kW.
5. If you choose the PowerMeter.Plesae change PowerMeter Addr to the address shown on the meter.
