Screen Overview #
Auto Solar Charging is an eco-friendly charging method that charges electric vehicles using surplus solar power remaining after household power consumption. If surplus Solar power remains after use at home, you can save power costs by utilizing that power for charging.
If the charging connector is connected to the vehicle (EV) while Auto Solar Mode is activated, charging proceeds automatically according to the timing when surplus Solar power is generated.
※ Auto Solar Charging may repeat charging start and pause depending on solar power generation and household power usage situations.
