Solar Integration

Summary:
Simpson & Partners chargers can charge from solar using grid/property data from wired or wireless energy manager. The charger detects property export and uses surplus to charge the EV.

How It Works:

  • Energy manager monitors grid/property usage
  • Charger detects export: >1.4 kW sustained for 5 minutes → begins charging
  • Grid top-up optional; can charge only on solar
  • Prevents relay damage by using sustained surplus only

Installation Notes:

  • Charger installation is same as wired/wireless setup
  • Solar inverter provides excess energy to the property; no direct connection to charger
  • Works with battery integration if installed
