Nowadays, solar charging at home is increasingly welcome by more residents. Charging electric vehicles with home solar power can reduce electricity bills and decrease dependence on traditional power from the grid, while helping to lower carbon emissions and improve environmental benefits. In addition, a charging system that uses solar power can also allow you to enjoy greater energy independence at home.
However, when solar energy is used to power home chargers, there is often lower utilization efficiency, resulting in most of the electricity generated by the solar panels being flow back into the grid, bringing low economic value to users. How do you take full advantage of your solar charging in 3-Phase at home? An example below can illustrate.
Reference Scenario: When your home is equipped with 3-Phase photovoltaic system and a 3-Phase AC charger.
Standard solar charging in 3-Phase at home: When the photovoltaic system supplies 3-Phase current to an AC charger, the current generated by three-phase solar panels can be unstable due to varying degrees of sunlight exposure. Uneven distribution of 3-Phase current may not meet the charger’s requirements for startup. As a result, the available solar power generation is extremely limited throughout the day.
More efficient solar charging in 3-Phase at home: When the photovoltaic system supplies 3-Phase current to an AC charger, it can convert 3-Phase into 1-phase current, thereby increasing the utilization rate of solar power generation in a day. This is iocharger’s product solution.
When you use iocharger’s home chargers, there are 3 modes helping you to use solar charging.
Full mode, always charges at full power.
Solar Assist mode, gives priority to solar energy, with assistance from grid to start charging during a lower solar surplus.
Solar Only mode, always charges on solar energy. Home chargers will be switched to suspended mode until it is enough
