Electric Vehicle Charging
There is now a further grant available for the purchase and installation of an EV Charging point in your home. In order to avail of this €600 grant, you must own an eligible electric vehicle.
PV Solar Ireland also provide electric vehicle charging stations for business for customers, staff and visitors. Stations can be paired with solar carports to provide maximum solar energy production and efficiency.
HOME ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
There is now a further grant available for the purchase and installation of an EV Charging point in your home. In order to avail of this, you must own an eligible electric vehicle.
We are installers of one of the most intelligent EV Chargers on the market, ZAPPI.
Zappi is an EV charging point with special eco charging modes to optimise self-consumption of on-site solar PV, wind etc.
There are three separate charging mode options:
FAST charge mode – works like most other EV charging stations, charging fast (7kW max power), just like an ordinary Mode 3 charging point. The actual charge rate depends on the EV's onboard charger and the grid supply voltage.
ECO mode – the car will charge at a minimum rate of 1.4kW, fluctuating above this as surplus solar power allows, Should surplus power falls below the minimum charge rate of 1.4kW, the shortfall will be drawn from the conventional grid.
ECO+ mode – Again, the EV will charge at the minimum rate of 1.4KW, fluctuating above this as surplus power permits, however charging will be paused if surplus power falls below the Min Green Level. For example, with the Min Green Level set to 50%, charging will be paused if 700W of power is being imported from the grid and will resume when there is 700W of power being exported.
By setting the Min Green Level to 100%, the car will be charged using only surplus renewable power, providing there is sufficient surplus power to do so.
There are further optional boost functions that ensure your EV achieves minimum levels of charge, without fail
All of these features, in PV Solar Ireland’s opinion, makes Zappi the EV Charger of choice
Solar Carports
Ground-mounted canopy constructions that stretch out over your car
parking spaces
Each carport is designed according to your site and needs
PV Solar panels are mounted on the roof
The tilt of the roof is calculated in order to create the optimal angle for
energy generation
If your building is not suitable for PV panels, this is a novel and
aesthetically pleasing method of creating free energy for your business
Option to integrate EV charging points for company and visitor EV charging
