SMA EV CHARGER 7.4
Charging electric vehicles with solar power – intelligent, fast, cost-effective
SMA EV Charger allows PV system operators to charge their electric vehicles intelligently and sustainably. This is because charging your electric vehicle with solar power keeps grid purchase costs to a minimum. Whether your system is brand-new or has been in operation for some time, SMA EV Charger is highly flexible and is compatible with all standard electric vehicles thanks to its permanently attached type 2 charging cable. In combination with SMA Sunny Home Manager 2.0, customers can prioritize solar power for charging their electric vehicles – and do this very fast if they are in a hurry. It can be easily operated via a rotary switch on the device or from the SMA Energy app. The boost function enables vehicles to be charged twice as fast as at conventional charging stations. Small solar capacities can also be utilized to the greatest possible extent through the automatic switchover from single-phase and three-phase charge modes. The smart system always takes loads into account and prevents the home connection from becoming overloaded.
Cost-effective due to maximum solar energy utilization Conventional three-phase charging stations cannot utilize small solar capacities, for example, in the early morning and evening hours due to the standardized minimum charging power of electric vehicles. SMA EV Charger enables maximum utilization of this energy by starting the single-phase charging process at 1.3 kW and automatically switching to three-phase charging for larger solar capacities.
Quicker charging thanks to the boost function SMA EV Charger uses a combination of grid and solar power to complete single-phase charging with up to 7.4 kW – and almost twice as fast as at conventional charging stations. The integrated symmetry feature ensures adherence to country-specific unbalanced load limits.
Safe and convenient thanks to power outage protection Simple design and worry-free operation through automatic adjustment of the charge power, even during parallel operation of multiple loads – this ensures that it is always possible to utilize the maximum available power that the house connection and the vehicle allow for charging.
Everything from a single source Thanks to the SMA Energy app, system owners have all the relevant information about their systems at the ready at all times. This ensures greater transparency thanks to up-to-date information about the charging process and maximum control through configuration of the charging mode. Highly convenient: Simply enter when you want your car to be ready and the app starts the charging process automatically.
