The Solar Compatible Car Charger

The Zappi was the first electric car charger to be compatible with solar energy, meaning those with PV panels can choose to power up their EV battery fully using green electicity generated from sunlight.

And with more households deciding to install solar panels in Ireland to reduce their annual bills and their carbon footprint, the Zappi is perhaps the perfect choice for those who wish to fully utilise the free electricity generated by their PV panels.

Solar Power and EV Charging

Three Charging Modes with Zappi EV Chargers

Fast

With Fast mode, your electric car charges at its maximum capacity. The electricity used in Fast mode can come from either renewable energy or directly from the grid, depending on whether electricity sourced from renewable sources is available. 

When energy from solar panels or wind turbine is unavailable, the myenergi Zappi charger works like a standard charging point with Fast mode.

Eco

Eco mode uses renewable energy sources, combining it with grid-sourced electricity. It aims to reduce the amount of grid sourced electricity used. 

In Eco mode, green electricity is prioritised, but when surplus generation falls below 1.4kw, grid power is used to back it up, meaning your car will be fully charged whether there is surplus electricity or not.

Eco+

Eco+ is the most environmentally friendly of all three charging modes, utilising renewable energy over grid-sourced power. 

Charging pauses when there is not enough solar electricity to charge your car. This mode is especially useful for EV owners who have an array of solar PV panels which provides them with a substantial amount of electricity, and makes charging using green electricity extremely easy.

Zappi Home Charger Prices

The price of a Zappi home charger in Ireland depends on the peak power output of the charger. The charger itself may cost between €800 and €1050 and installation costs will be on top of this. 

But the SEAI offers a €300 grant towards the installation of new EV home chargers, which may slash up-front costs by up to a third.

And with Level 2 charging, especially with solar energy, the savings will more than pay back what it costs to install a Zappi charger.
