This guide provides details of the use and activation of EV Charger features that enablehomeowners to get the most benefit from their installed SolarEdge EV Charger. The mainfeatures presented here are:•••••Charging from excess PV

Setting import limits

Setting schedules for charging.
RFID Authorization.

Reports and Charging History.

To make use of these functionalities, the EV Charger system and the features listed above
must appear in the MySolarEdge app. Certain features will not appear in the App if thesystem does not support the feature (e.g. RFID Management). If none of these featuresappear in the App, contact your SolarEdge Installer.

Charge from excess PV

When a meter is installed and configured, you can see the systems excess solar energy thatwould normally be exported back to the grid. By enabling “Excess PV” the energy that would
have been exported to the grid is used to charge the car.

IMPORTANT NOTE
When Excess PV is enabled, the car starts to charge only when a specific level of power isavailable. For single-phase systems this level is 1.38kW (6A at 230V) and for three-phasesystems the level is 4.14kW (3x6A at 230V). The power level must be at or above this level forat least two minutes for the car to start charging. This specification is based on therequirement of the inverter for a minimum of 6A per phase.
An indicator in the App shows the amount of additional excess power needed to start
charging the car. To protect the car, when the necessary excess power falls below the limit
again, the car continues charging from the grid for a short period of time.

Set import limits

To protect your house from overloading, the installer can activate an import limit so that thehouse consumption does not overload the main circuit breaker. When this function hasactivated, the EV Charger reduces its charging power based on the import limitation setting
and the consumption of the house. A notification informs you that car charging is reduced
due to potential power overload of the house.

Prioritize devices

When the SolarEdge system includes a battery 1 and other smart energy devices, you candefine what gets priority when Excess PV is enabled. Using this feature, you can define whichappliances get priority for using solar power and you get the highest amount of selfconsumption. The default setting prioritizes the battery and then the other installedappliances.

To set priorities:

In the EV Charger main screen, tap1.

This requires firmware version 4.18 or later.

Version 1.0, November 2023

To set the priorities, tap Excess Solar Priorities.
You can enable or disable a device or set its priority by “dragging and dropping” the device
above or below other devices.
As an example:
Make the car a higher priority than the battery so that the car charges when you are at home,and you are going to use the car again soon. When you disconnect the car, or its battery isfull, your home battery starts charging.
IMPORTANT NOTE
When there is a grid outage, during backup conditions, the system might not be able tocharge the car since EV charging might need more power than the Backup system canprovide. This can cause your circuit breakers to trip due to overload.

Set schedules

You can set charging schedules to charge your car at any time at full power within theconstraints of the set import limitations. With Excess PV enabled, your car charges outside
those scheduled times with the excess PV. Refer to Charging from Excess PV for moreinformation.
You can charge your EV at any time by tapping Charge Now in the mySolarEdge App.
Charging starts at full power within the constraints of the import limitation setting.

In mySolarEdge you can set up to four (4) schedules for automatic EV charging. Duringscheduled times, charging is done at full power within the constraints of the import
limitations setting.

To set charging schedules in mySolarEdge 2:

1. In the main screen, tap the Smart Energy Icon.

2. Tap the EV Charger device.

2The mySolarEdge display might look different depending on your installed devices and their settings

3. Tap Schedule.

4. Tap.

5. Set the day, start time, and end time for charging.

6. When done, tap Save.

You can schedule up to four (4) different charging times per EV.

You can turn each specific scheduled period ON or OFF.

When a scheduled period is toggled ON, you can see the next scheduled charging time here:

RFID authorization

This feature is supported in the RFID SolarEdge EV Charger variant. Using mySolarEdge you
can activate RFID authorization which requires a user to scan an RFID card before charging
can start.
In mySolarEdge you can manage accessibility and add, delete, or edit RFID cards. Up to ten(10) RFID cards can be used per EV charger. To enable or disable authorization, tap
Authorization in the main menu.

When Authorization is disabled, the car charges automatically and the settings for schedulingand Excess PV are active.

To manage charging cards, tap Manage charging cards.

The list of charging cards is refreshed automatically.
To update the card details, prolong the card’s validation, block or delete a card, tap the card
ID ( ).
To add a new card using the EV Chargers RFID Module or the NFC Module on your phone 3,
tap Add Card ( ).

3Only possible using Android phones with NFC functionality.

Charging history and reports

Using mySolarEdge, you can access your charging history and download reports in pdf orCSV formats. When more than one person has access to the EV Charger and authenticateswith an RFID card, the report separates the information according to individual cards.
In mySolarEdge, in the EV Charger screen, tap Charging History.

You can choose to see charging history per week, per month, or per year. You can alsochoose to see the data based on energy in kWh supplied or the equivalent (estimated) kmadded.
