It doesn't get cheaper than this: Charge using your own solar power 

You'll already be aware of the environmental and economic advantages of generating your own energy.

As an electric car owner, with a PV system you can significantly increase your potential savings with the Fronius Wattpilot. This electric car charger can switch between 1 and 3-phase automatically and regulate its output in 1 ampere steps. This allows it to make optimal use of the surplus PV energy from 1.38 kW to 22 kW and use any surplus energy from your PV system to sustainably charge your vehicle at virtually no cost. 

Your benefits: you save while you charge and make optimum use of your PV system so that it pays for itself faster. 

Two charging modes for flexible e-mobility

Charge your vehicle to suit your needs. The Fronius Wattpilot offers two charging modes which can be selected directly on the electric car charger or via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app: 

 

  • Eco Mode

The preferred mode for PV system owners. It ensures that your vehicle is charged – whenever available – with self-generated solar power or the cheapest mains current. 

 

  • Next Trip Mode

Next Trip Mode is for those who want to reliably charge their electric car to cover a specific journey – a certain number of miles – by a specific time. The Fronius Wattpilot reliably and intelligently charges the required amount. If available, surplus PV power from your own PV system is used or the cheapest mains current.

Optimal power distribution – with Dynamic Load Balancing

Whether with excess energy from your photovoltaic system or with power from the grid, Dynamic Load Balancing allows you to use the entire available amount of your household electricity optimally.

With one or more Wattpilot's installed, not only can you charge your electric cars at the same time, but also in an energy-optimised manner. The energy required can be controlled and distributed dynamically among up to three vehicles being charged.

The advantage for you is that both the performance of your photovoltaic system as well as the energy consumed in the household are taken into account. This saves high connection costs and also effectively prevents overloading at the house connection. And best of all, thanks to Dynamic Load Balancing, you can prioritise precisely and therefore achieve even higher charging power.

"I use the Fronius Wattpilot to charge our electric cars with surplus energy from the PV system. Charging costs us practically nothing. We can fully charge both vehicles in one weekend and drive them the whole week for free. Fronius Wattpilot controls and manages it all – I think it’s amazing."
