Solar-Only Charging Guide:Charge your EV using only surplus solar energy

Make the most of your home’s solar power by charging your EV exclusively with surplus solar energy. Solar-Only Charging helps maximize self-consumption, reduce electricity costs, and minimize reliance on the grid.
This guide shows you how to activate this feature in the enjoyelec App.

1. What is Solar-Only Charging?

Solar-Only Charging allows your EV to charge using only surplus solar energy generated at home, without drawing electricity from the grid.
It is designed to help you:

• Maximize self-consumption of solar energy
• Reduce electricity costs
• Enable low-carbon, sustainable charging

Under optimal conditions, this enables 100% solar-powered EV charging and reduces reliance on grid electricity.

2. Before You Start (Requirements)

Make sure your system meets the following conditions:
System Requirements

•  A compatible EV charger connected to the enjoyelec App via OCPP
  (Only OCPP connections are supported. Tap here to view brand-specific charger connection guides.)
• A functioning solar PV system whose inverter is connected to the enjoyelec App
  (Tap here to view brand-specific inverter connection guides )
• A stable internet connection for real-time communication

Recommended Setup

• Latest version of the enjoyelec App
• Up-to-date charger firmware

Note: Solar-Only Charging cannot be used simultaneously with Smart Charging.

3.How Solar-Only Charging Works

The system continuously analyzes real-time solar generation and household consumption to control charging behaviors:

• When solar generation exceeds household demand, surplus energy is automatically allocated to EV charging.
• When solar output drops below the required threshold, charging pauses automatically.
• Charging resumes once sufficient solar energy is available again.

Single-phase chargers require a minimum surplus power to initiate charging, typically around
1.4 kW.
