Start with how the car will be used. If it is away all day, surplus-solar charging may matter less than a reliable overnight schedule. If it is usually on the drive, the solar controls deserve a closer look.
Zappi has ECO and ECO+ modes for using local generation. At the Old Barn project in Blair Drummond, we fitted a 7kW Zappi alongside solar and battery storage, configured for surplus generation and scheduled off-peak charging.
Ohme’s UK Home Pro datasheet lists mobile-network connectivity and solar charging with a working CT clamp. Check signal at the proposed location and the current terms of any connectivity service.
Hypervolt’s Home 3 Pro documentation includes solar-and-grid and solar-only modes. Ask which exact model and cable length the quote includes.
For any brand, check the supplier’s current compatibility requirements for your car and charger before choosing a tariff. A charger having a schedule does not automatically qualify it for every supplier-controlled tariff. We will discuss the equipment and installation together.
