Fronius Wattpilot – Intelligent charging stations for electric vehicles

Fronius Wattpilot charging stations offer an efficient and sustainable solution for charging electric vehicles. They are characterized by their integration with photovoltaic systems, flexible charging power, and user-friendly control.

Available Fronius Wattpilot models

The Fronius Wattpilot series comprises two main models:

• Wattpilot Home – Permanently installed wallbox for private use.
• Wattpilot Go – Portable charging unit for on the go.

Both models are available with charging capacities of 11 kW and 22 kW and offer a single-phase or three-phase charging option.

Technical features

• PV surplus charging: Dynamic adjustment of the charging power based on the available solar power to maximize self-consumption.
• Automatic phase switching: The Wattpilot automatically switches between single-phase and three-phase charging to optimally utilize the available PV power.
• Network connection: WLAN connectivity for easy integration into existing networks and remote control.
• OCPP 1.6 J: Support for the open communication protocol for broad compatibility with various backend systems.
• Protection class IP65: Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Intelligent charging functions

The Wattpilot charging stations offer two main charging programs:

• Eco Mode: Prioritizes charging with self-generated solar power or the cheapest available electricity tariff.
• Next Trip Mode: Ensures that sufficient energy is available at a given time for a planned trip.

Both modes can be configured and controlled via the Solar.wattpilot app , which is available for iOS and Android.

Integration into energy management systems

The Fronius Wattpilot integrates seamlessly into existing energy management systems. Communication with Fronius inverters and smart meters ensures optimal use of the generated solar power. This contributes to reducing energy costs and accelerating the amortization of the photovoltaic system.

Conclusion

Fronius Wattpilot charging stations offer a smart and sustainable solution for charging electric vehicles. With their flexibility, user-friendliness, and integration into existing energy systems, they are an excellent choice for environmentally conscious users.
