Zoe vs 3 Phase Zappi - How Fast Can We Charge From Only Solar?

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

Does the Zappi ever draw from the batteries... or does it just use the excess power from the PV going to the GRID. I don't want it to effect my house batteries and only use the PV power (but also not effecting the house or drawing anything from the grid) - Nice set up by the way. Cheers.

I'll get Chris to reply how his works.

The Zappi can obviously use the battery, but by default it is only looking for excess production that is sent to grid, so will not use the battery to charge the car. You can charge the eco & margin settings to change this. You can also monitor an AC coupled battery directly & set rules for what charges first too.

@@ccspack thanks for that - that is what I was looking for, cheers.
