set electricity price is below this value. If the electricity price is above this value, charging
does not take place.
NOTE!
In Next Trip Mode, it is not this value that is taken into account but the most favourable
charging times in the available time period.
Use PV surplus
The Wattpilot uses the surplus PV energy for charging.
Inverter
Selection of a coupled inverter.
PV battery threshold
If a battery is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value can be set here. Below
the set value, the battery is charged as a priority. Above this value, the energy of the bat-
tery is used to charge the car. The SOC of the battery may still slowly increase.
Ohmpilot threshold
If a Fronius Ohmpilot is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value for the temper-
ature can be set here. Below the set value, the available energy is prioritised for heating.
Above this value, the heating power of the Ohmpilot is used to charge the car. The tem-
perature may still slowly increase.
NOTE!
To use the function with an available Fronius Ohmpilot, a temperature sensor must be
connected to the Ohmpilot.
PV surplus
In the advanced settings, a start-up power level can be set from which the PV energy is
used for charging. Electric vehicles require a certain minimum power in order to charge.
- Starting power level: If "0" is set, the Wattpilot will start charging even if no PV sur-
plus is available.
In the case of Zero feed-in, no PV current is fed into the grid. If zero feed-in is activated
in the inverter, it must also be activated in the Wattpilot.
NOTE!
Priorities with zero feed-in activated.
If zero feed-in is activated, the prioritisation of system components cannot be guaran-
teed. PV optimisation control may be restricted.
Deviations may occur when using PV surplus, as electric vehicles are regulated in
stages. The following settings can be made under Control response:
- Prefer from grid: The Wattpilot prioritises consumption over feed-in from the grid.
- Default: The Wattpilot enables both consumption and feed-in.
- Prefer to grid: The Wattpilot prioritises feed-in over consumption from the grid.
Car
With intelligent charging, the charging process can be interrupted or the charging current
reduced in order to meet certain charging conditions. Car-specific settings must be spe-
cified for smooth smart charging.
