When it comes to installing Level 2 chargers, EV owners in North America may encounter restricted household electrical capacity. With the release of its Power Monitor, ELECQ is revolutionising the industry by putting intelligent EV charging at the centre of solar integration and load balancing in homes.
Home energy problems are resolved using ELECQ Power Monitor
Due to limited electrical panel capacity and the high expense of upgrading a home’s service, installing EV chargers at home might be challenging. Higher energy costs, wasted solar power, and chargers that trip the system when too much is running at once are common outcomes of not having smart systems.
By dynamically balancing a home’s overall energy use, Active Load Management (ALM) addresses this issue and enables EV charging without overtaxing the system or necessitating expensive improvements. The home energy management system from ELECQ can help with this. The ELECQ Power Monitor connects to the ELECQ Level 2 EV Charger and monitors the load in your house.
By dynamically balancing household loads in real time, ELECQ Power Monitor removes the need for costly modifications to electrical infrastructure. By cleverly preventing overloads, it improves the electrical system’s dependability and safety in your house. Through proactive energy management, ELECQ keeps your family safe and your electricity steady by preventing overload threats.
Seamless solar EV charging
ELECQ maximises EV charging using solar energy thanks to its clever algorithms and real-time monitoring. This increases household energy efficiency, makes the most of your solar investment, and lessens dependency on the electrical grid. To make the most of extra solar energy for charging your EV, the ELECQ Power Monitor activates three solar charging modes:
- Only Solar mode: Completely avoids using grid power and only uses solar-generated energy to charge EVs.
- Solar Priority mode: Gives solar power priority for charging EVs, but adds small amounts of grid electricity when needed.
- Unlimited mode: Ensures maximum charging speed by using solar power primarily and additional energy from the grid as needed.
The ELECQ app is easy to use
Homeowners can easily monitor and schedule EV charging with ELECQ’s user-friendly app, which also gives them real-time insight into their home’s solar and energy usage.
Because the ELECQ EV charger connects to both 2.4G and 5GHz Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth, you can control charging from anywhere at any time using the Elecq app. You can reduce your energy costs by scheduling it to recharge during off-peak hours. The most recent over-the-air updates will also be sent to you automatically.
Additionally, the ELECQ app simplifies the process of configuring and utilising the Power Monitor. You can plan when to charge, monitor the amount of electricity you’re using from your solar panels or the grid in real time, and see the precise cost of each session. Do you require the receipts? From within the software, you may export comprehensive reports for each charge.
Safe and reliable technology
When the weather or the grid becomes unexpected, you won’t have to worry since the ELECQ Power Monitor and Level 2 EV charger are designed with safety and dependability in mind. Using high-precision sensors, the system monitors the electrical demand and solar output of your house, enabling it to function seamlessly with panels up to 200 amps. Everything is tested to avoid overheating, short circuits, or fire hazards and is UL certified and RoHS compliant.
ELECQ has you covered in the event of a power surge or lightning strike. This system is designed to withstand a wide range of conditions, from blizzards to intense heat, thanks to its robust NEMA 4 and IK10 certifications and 10 kV/5 kA surge protection. This implies that it safeguards not just your house but also your EV battery and charging equipment. It is safe to install the EV charger both indoors and outdoors. Furthermore, the ELECQ Power Monitor doesn’t even require internet because it communicates with the ELECQ Level 2 EV Charger automatically using Wi-Sun technology.
Because of its UL certification, the ELECQ Power Monitor satisfies stringent safety and performance requirements in the United States.
Why pick ELECQ?
Because it actively optimises energy use and is universally compatible with solar installations, ELECQ differentiates itself from other home energy solutions like Tesla and other conventional chargers.
- ELECQ provides an open and adaptable alternative to Tesla’s more restrictive ecosystem, which frequently calls for proprietary parts like the Powerwall and Gateway. This ensures wider interoperability with a variety of household energy configurations by simplifying installation and minimising ecosystem lock-in.
- In contrast to conventional chargers, ELECQ uses Wi-SUN to provide millisecond-level data transmission with minimum interference, great dependability, and strong wall penetration. This is in contrast to regular Wi-Fi connections, which frequently experience instability and coverage limitations.
ELECQ saves money and energy
In addition to integrating Level 2 charging and smart home energy management, the ELECQ Power Monitor and Level 2 EV charger offer significant financial and energy savings.
To ensure that you’re getting the most clean energy possible from your solar system, ELECQ intelligently connects to it. This translates to more money in your pocket, cheaper energy costs, and less grid power. Additionally, without even realising it, you’re reducing the carbon footprint of your house by using more renewable energy and less electricity generated by fossil fuels.
Use ELECQ to change the energy future of your house
ELECQ enables homeowners in North America to optimise solar investments, lower energy expenses, improve safety, and manage energy more effectively. Smarter, more environmentally friendly home energy management is now simple and accessible with ELECQ.
