Decreasing feed-in tariffs and increasing electricity costs make it economically sensible to use self-generated solar power from the PV system to charge your own electric vehicles. The key to the success of corporate solar charging is intelligent charging management, which controls the flow of energy so that electric vehicles are charged when solar energy is available.
For charging your electric cars with solar energy, in addition to a charging station or wallbox, an additional meter (smart meter) is installed behind your existing electricity meter. It measures the surplus of generated solar power. These data are then forwarded to an intelligent energy and charging management system. This intelligent system charges the electric vehicles taking into account various factors such as departure time and desired charging quantity, storage, and data from other consumers.
With our intelligent energy and charging management, you can not only view all the information from your multi-tilt solar array in one place on a clear dashboard, but you can also integrate weather data and real-time solar performance data into your electric vehicle charging schedule. With access to historical data, you can also gain valuable insight into past solar yields.
The Bavarian company Alois Müller GmbH demonstrates how solar charging and intelligent charging management work in its electric vehicle fleet. The networking of the vehicles with the charging infrastructure ensures a holistic energy management of the company headquarters, making the Green Factory one of the greenest and smartest corporate charging parks in Germany.
Usually not exclusively. Electric vehicles can be charged with solar power, but if the solar power is insufficient, it automatically switches to grid power. The amount of solar power charged depends on various factors such as the size of the photovoltaic system, the weather, and the charging management. With IO-Dynamics' charging management, surplus solar power from the photovoltaic system is optimally utilized thanks to solar forecasts and data collection from all components.
Sustainable, reliable and cost-effective - this is how solar charging with IO-Dynamics works: Our manufacturer-independent and easy-to-integrate charging software automatically and data-driven charges all electric vehicles for maximum PV driving power.
