The solar charger

myenergi zappi installation in Basingstoke

The zappi is the best-known charger for homes with solar panels. It can charge your car purely from surplus solar, or blend in grid power on cheap rates.

zappi charging modes

  • Fast: full power, like any 7kW charger
  • Eco: uses surplus solar and tops up from the grid to keep a minimum rate
  • Eco+: surplus solar only, so charging stops when the sun goes in

Getting the setup right

A zappi is only as good as its current clamp (CT) placement. We fit the grid CT on your incoming meter tails and, if you have solar, a generation CT on the inverter output. That way the charger knows exactly what you're exporting. It also works with myenergi's eddi (hot water diverter) and libbi battery.

Without solar?

A zappi still works as a capable smart charger on overnight tariffs, and it's ready if you add panels later. See solar EV charging.
