Frequently asked questions

How do I set up reactive load management on Charger vision?

Reactive load management involves wiring Charger vision into the CHINT Meter DDSU/DTSU included with SOLARWATT Inverter vision (also sold separately), then enabling & configuring the max. current of the household incoming in the SOLARWATT Pro app. When configured, the charger's throughput will be reactively curtailed when the total throughput of the charger and household demand from the grid would exceed that of the incoming, to prevent a blackout.   

The full installation instructions are outlined in detail in our online operating instructions:

What models of Charger vision are available?

The following models of Charger vision are available. 

SOLARWATT Charger vision (7 kW, single-phase 32A, shutter)

SOLARWATT Charger vision (11 kW, three-phase 16/16/16A, cable)

SOLARWATT Charger vision (11 kW, three-phase, 16/16/16A, shutter)

The 'cable' version of our three-phase 11 kW Charger vision includes a fixed 6m long Type 2 charging cable which is permanently attached to the charger, while the 'shutter' versions include a socket to allow the customer to insert their own Type 2, Mode 3 EV Charging cable; please note there is no cable version of the single-phase 7 kW Charger vision. 

Does Charger vision have built-in PEN protection?

Yes.

SOLARWATT Charger vision (7 kW, single phase, shutter) and Charger vision (11 kW, three-phase, tether/shutter) all include built-in PEN (Protective Earth and Neutral) safety protection in line with UK regulations.

Can Charger vision be installed standalone without Battery or Inverter vision?

Yes, Charger vision does not require a Battery or Inverter vision to work.

However, to make use of time-of-use features, scheduling, or reactive load management (to balance charger consumption against the max current of the household incoming grid supply), a SOLARWATT Manager (Manager flex / Manager rail) and CHINT Meter DDSU (single-phase version) / DTSU (three-phase version) is required.

A CHINT meter is included with each Inverter vision, but can also be purchased separately. When installed without Inverter vision, the CHINT meter can be wired directly to the RS485 pins on the Manager and connected in EM.Setup as a standalone CHINT vision Main meter with a zero-generation PV plant.
