Hi, i often use solar only but its not working quite right. The session starts ok, then there isnt enough spare solar and the charging stops, thats ok. BUT then when the spare solar is enough, the charging will not start up again. It just sits saying waiting for more solar. Meanwhile I feed in 4 kw of solar, so i know there is enough?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Good Morning,
Solar only will only start, when there are more than 6A being returned back to the grid.
Solar only charging profile - In this profile, the charging process is initiated solely using green energy. The minimum required value is 6 Amps. If there is less surplus energy available than 6 A, the charger will remain in “On hold” mode.
Also, Solar only have few limitations:
If the Solar or ECO+ mode is being utilized and there is a sudden shortage of solar power to charge the electric vehicle, the charger will compensate by drawing charging power from the grid for the following 30 seconds and limiting the maximum current to 6 A until enough solar power is available. If no sufficient solar power is available after 30 seconds, the charger will transition to the “On hold” state and await the availability of additional surplus energy. Once there is sufficient surplus energy, the charger initiates a 2-minute timer during which it verifies the sustained presence of enough solar energy. After the 2-minute interval elapses, the charger proceeds to the charging process.
