SolaX EV Charger Modes

SolaX systems are often installed with EV chargers that can communicate with the inverter via Wi-Fi as well as through wired connection. These chargers offer several operating modes — let’s look at their differences and functionality.

This article explains the operating modes of SolaX EV chargers.

Operating Modes:

• Green
  
  
• Eco
  
  
• Fast

Green Mode

There are two selectable settings: 3 A and 6 A (default is 6 A).
In this mode, the charger uses only the energy produced by the PV system.
At 3 A, if PV power is insufficient, the charger will draw the small required surplus from the grid.
The minimum operating current is 6 A.

Eco Mode

There are four selectable settings: 6 A, 10 A, 16 A, and 20 A.
In each case, the charger will charge at the set current level, prioritizing solar-generated power, while supplementing the remainder from the grid.

Fast Mode

In this setting, the charger always operates at its rated power output (for example, 32 A for a 22 kW charger).

Which mode to use depends on the situation:

• Fast Mode and Green Mode (6 A) are the most commonly used — the first for quick charging, the second for maximizing self-consumption.
  
  
• If you have a clearer picture of the site’s consumption habits, Eco Mode can also be used advantageously.
  
  

This is a user-adjustable setting, so there is no need to contact the installer each time you wish to change it.
