If solar power input is not available, it will operate on grid power only at 7.6kW (32 Amps).<\/p>\n<p>SolarEdge says the Level 2 EV charger offers charging up to six times faster than a standard Level 1 charger ( plugging an EV into a standard household outlet).<\/p>\n<p>Other features of the system include &#8220;smart-scheduling&#8221; for use when mains electricity rates are lower and remote operation via an app &#8211; the charger can be toggled directly from a smartphone. Fully integrated with the SolarEdge monitoring platform, the app also enables monitoring of PV, EV, and grid consumption.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/remote-ev-charging.jpg\" alt=\"Mobile app for remote EV charging and monitoring\" width=\"700\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/remote-ev-charging.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/remote-ev-charging-300x121.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Among other benefits, the company states the new product will reduces workload and costs of installing a standalone electric vehicle charger and a solar inverter.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAdding EV charging to our growing-range of products further enables system owners to easily manage their energy needs,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solaredge.com\/solaredge-launching-first-pv-integrated-electric-vehicle-charger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> CEO and Chairman of SolarEdge, Guy Sella.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The inverter-integrated EV charger is accompanied by a 12-year warranty that can be extended to as long as 20 years.
