Olife Energy Solar module for wallbox
Olife Energy Solar module for wallbox
The Olife Energy Solar wallbox module allows communication with selected inverters for domestic photovoltaic power plants (PV plants) without the need to purchase an OlifeEnergy SmartMeter for main circuit breaker protection. Thanks to the SolarModule, the smartmeter of the solar power plant can be used. It works with GoodWe (ET series), SOLAX, Dražice, Huawei (SUN2000) and Deye inverters. Collaboration with the inverter will allow the station to control the charging of the electric vehicle to achieve the highest possible charging speed with maximum efficiency of the solar energy produced to charge the car from the PV surplus. The solar module communicates with the photovoltaic inverter via Wi-Fi or Ethernet protocol ModBus TCP over a local area network (LAN). In addition, it provides remote management and setup of the station over the local network. The cooperation with the inverter will allow the station to control the charging of the electric vehicle to achieve the highest possible charging speed with maximum efficiency of the solar energy produced to charge the vehicle from the PV surplus.
Key Features of Olife Energy Solar wallbox module
- Supports three main charging modes
- Maximises the use of the solar energy produced
- Prevents overflows back into the distribution network
- Equipped with a mains assistant to make up missing amps
- Regulation of charging current up to the value of the main circuit breaker
- Charging can be controlled based on the current state of charge of the PV battery storage
Maximum from the sun, minimum from the grid
In the mode of charging the electric vehicle from the PV surplus, the charging intensity of the electric vehicle is continuously adjusted to the current energy production from the PV plant and the current household consumption. The main objective is to maximize the use of the solar energy produced for charging and to minimize or completely prevent energy overflows back into the grid. Charging will only start when there is surplus energy available corresponding to a minimum charging current of 6 A (determined by vehicle characteristics). In this mode, the mains assistant can also be set up - buying missing amps from the mains. This eliminates the need to stop charging if, for example, a cloud comes and PV production drops. The network assistant only ever purchases the maximum set value of amps. If the overflow is higher, the purchase is not carried out.
Safe charging without overloading the home
In circuit breaker protection mode, the charging current is dynamically regulated so that the total current drawn by the household, including electric vehicle charging, does not exceed the set value of the main circuit breaker. If the total current on any phase exceeds the circuit breaker limit, charging is limited or stopped completely with a time delay. Charging automatically resumes when the total household electricity consumption drops so much that the total consumption (household + minimum charging current of 6 A) is below the limit of the main circuit breaker with a reserve (2 A).
Smart charging according to PV battery status
In State of Charge control mode, charging is controlled based on the current state of charge of the PV battery storage in the home (SoC - State of Charge). Charging will start when the SoC battery level in the home reaches or exceeds the "SoC start" setting. If the SoC battery in the home exceeds the downward set "SoC limit", the charging current is limited to a minimum of 6 A per phase. Charging will stop if the SoC of the battery in the home falls below the set "SoC stop" level.
