What is a wifi EV charger? A Wi-Fi EV charger allows owners to remotely monitor and control their Electronic Vehicle’s charging sessions, providing a convenient way to manage energy usage. This is particularly useful for scheduling charges during off-peak hours and integrating with solar systems for cost-effective charging. Monitoring your home EV charger helps optimise performance by tracking charging times and energy efficiency, ensuring you get the most from every…
Which Solar Battery Setup Suits Your Property Best? Solar battery systems store excess solar energy generated by your solar panels, allowing you to use the energy during peak energy usage which is when energy is most expensive or when the grid fails. The three main types of setups include: AC Coupled Systems In these setups, a new battery is added (AC coupled) to an existing solar and inverter system. DC…
If charging your EV at home feels slower than at a public station, it’s because home chargers operate at a lower power level compared to the high-powered DC fast chargers available at public charging stations. This difference in power output can make home charging seem like it takes much longer, especially if you’re used to the speed of public chargers. One of the main reasons behind this slower charging is…
Why Now is the Best Time to Invest in Solar and Battery Systems Investing in solar and battery systems is becoming increasingly appealing to Australian homeowners, thanks to shorter payback periods, government rebates, and falling battery prices.
