Wallboxes for photovoltaic-supported charging

E-car charging station Solar system

The myenergi zappi V2 is a wallbox that is perfect for charging with a PV system.

Switching to electromobility is generally a decision for more environmental protection. However, buying an electric car is only the first important step. The electricity itself is also important, as an electric car is generally only as clean as the electricity used to charge it. Renewable energies, such as solar power, are much better sources of electricity than electricity generated in power plants. In order to be independent of rising energy prices, having your own photovoltaic system - if it is possible to install one - is a very good choice. However, this raises the question of which wallbox is actually suitable for combination with a PV system and which features are particularly important. It must also be ensured that the self-generated PV electricity actually flows into the electric car during charging. It is also important to consider what options are available for intermediate storage if too much energy is generated (PV surplus). One charging station that supports photovoltaic-protected charging very well is the myenergi zappi V2.

 

On course for environmental protection: charging electric cars with your own photovoltaic system

Intelligent charging with the myenergi zappi V2

Whether solar modules on the roof of the house or panels on the carport: when it comes to photovoltaic-supported charging, the zappi V2 from myenergi is a good choice. The wallbox is compatible with all photovoltaic systems, regardless of the manufacturer.

To connect to a PV system, the zappi wallbox uses integrated measuring sensors, so-called CT terminals, which are attached to the house connection and thus check the amount of electricity available. They detect exactly how much electricity is being fed into the household grid from your own PV system. This means for you:

  • The wallbox recognizes how much electricity can be used for charging.
  • It can dynamically adapt the amount of electricity required to the charging capacity, depending on the PV surplus.
  • It enables your electric car to be charged at the wallbox at home with self-generated, environmentally friendly energy.
  • Your electric car can always be charged at a favorable price .

 

Conclusion

For anyone who values environmentally friendly, low-cost electricity when charging their electric car, the magic word is photovoltaics. A well-planned PV system can optimize energy consumption and make smart use of surplus PV energy, for example. The myenergi zappi works with a sensor to identify the flow of electricity. The advantage: it is sufficient to attach the so-called CT terminals of the touch sensor to the power line of the house connection. These then automatically measure the current and pass the information on to the charging station. What's more, the zappi is compatible with any PV system, regardless of the manufacturer.

The e-mobilio store also offers wallboxes that can be integrated into an energy management system.
