Fantastic! We’ve been so impressed with this app. It works well 99.9% of the time. However, most impressive is their response when there has been an issue. We’ve emailed and had a quick response. These guys haven’t put a foot wrong.

ev.energy’s Solar Smart system calculates the best time to charge your vehicle based on your electricity tariff and your solar panel output, as well as when greener electricity is available from your supplier.
Solar Smart uses a highly accurate solar irradiation forecasting algorithm to optimise your charge for when it's cheapest and greenest, considering: your tariff, the carbon forecast, and your solar panel output. The algorithm predicts how much power your solar panels are producing and then schedules your charging accordingly. See "How does Solar Smart Charging calculate the best time to charge?"
Solar Smart is a software-only solution. Using a software-based approach means that users do not need to have any specific hardware. It also means that we can make it available to all our users irrespective of their location.
To enable users to charge with only the solar power they are producing, we vary the charge rate of the vehicle to match the power produced. We can do this in two different ways;
1. Users with a hardware-based solution have a CT Clamp installed around their meter inlet. This lets the charger see the amount of power being imported or exported to the grid. This means that household load is taken into account as we are looking at the total power going into or out of the house.
2. Users without any hardware installed can use our software-based solution. We use a solar irradiance forecast which provides an estimation of the solar power produced by a solar array.
Using this information the charger can vary the amount of power available for the vehicle and so ensure that no energy is imported or exported. Both of these solutions will allow users to have zero cost, zero carbon charging however a hardware solution will typically be more accurate.
Your solar panels need to be exporting more than 1400w to the grid for your car to charge. If they are producing less, then no charge will go into your car. This means that the total power produced minus the household load needs to be greater than 1400w
You can override Solar Charging settings at any time. Just hit the Boost button in the app, then your car will get an immediate charge - perfect for those last-minute changes of plans when you need a little extra juice to get on your way.
