EV charging

SolaX EV charging and wallbox automation

See how your car charging relates to solar production, battery state, grid import and tariffs. The Collector keeps EV decisions running even when the app is closed.

Why EV charging belongs with solar data

EV charging can be the largest flexible load in the house. Without live solar and battery context, it is easy to charge at the wrong time or from the wrong source.

SolaxMonitor connects wallbox visibility with inverter data so you can understand solar share, grid cost and charging behavior in one place.

Wallbox visibility

Track charging power, session energy and charger status when your setup exposes the data.

Solar vs grid split

Understand how much charging came from solar, battery or paid grid import.

Tariff-aware charging

Plan charging around cheap hours, solar windows and future dynamic tariffs.

Collector-based control

Automation stays awake at home through the Collector or Collector Box.

From monitoring to action

The first step is clarity: know when the car is charging, how much power it draws, and whether solar production is covering the load.

The next step is automation: combine forecast, battery state and price signals so the car charges when energy makes sense, not just when it is plugged in.

EV workflows SolaxMonitor is built for

The collector path gives EV automation enough context to be useful:

  • Show current charging status next to solar, battery and grid flow.
  • Estimate charging cost by source and tariff.
  • Prefer solar surplus or cheap tariff windows when possible.
  • Prepare for direct Tesla integration and deeper wallbox automations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require a SolaX EVC wallbox?

The best integration is with SolaX-compatible wallbox data, but SolaxMonitor is also being prepared for broader EV automation such as Tesla integration.

Can EV charging work without the Collector?

Basic app views can exist, but reliable 24/7 EV monitoring and automation require the Collector path.

Can SolaxMonitor charge only from solar surplus?

That is one of the target workflows. Exact control depends on wallbox, inverter and Modbus capability.

Why include tariffs?

Charging decisions depend on both production and price. Solar surplus, cheap night tariffs and negative-price periods should all influence the plan.
