Fronius Wattpilot Charging on my terms

THE CHARGING SOLUTION FOR ALL ELECTRIC VEHICLES – INTELLIGENT & FLEXIBLE

With the Fronius Wattpilot, you can offer your customers an intelligent EV charging solution that is flexible and therefore suitable for all electric vehicle owners.

Both models offer practical features and setting options that enable flexible, particularly cost-effective and sustainable charging.

With flexible electricity tariffs, the option of PV surplus charging and two practical charging modes, the Wattpilot offers all electric vehicle drivers maximum independence and leaves nothing to be desired.

WATTPILOT GO

The flexible charging solution for at home and on the road.
Can be mounted hanging upright indoors or outdoors, and is detachable and portable.
Available in two power categories.

COST-EFFICIENT CHARGING WITH VARIABLE ELECTRICITY TARIFFS

The Wattpilot enables your customers to charge their electric vehicles particularly economically. This works in combination with variable electricity tariffs. Flexible electricity tariffs are based on the current market prices, which are passed on to the customer with a minimal surcharge. The electricity price is usually lower at night and when plenty of solar energy and wind power are available. It therefore makes sense to charge an electric vehicle at those times.

This is possible with the intelligent charging solution from Fronius: using the Solar.wattpilot app in Eco Mode the customer can simply set the maximum charge they require for their electric vehicle. The Wattpilot then charges whenever the actual market price reaches or falls below the defined value.

* This feature is initially only available in Austria (aWattar Hourly) and Germany (Lumina.Strom), although further countries are planned.

INTELLIGENT CHARGING MODES FOR GREATER FLEXIBILITY

Two charging modes are available, which can be selected via the app or directly on the Wattpilot:

ECO MODE

Eco Mode is the ideal charging mode for PV system owners. In this mode, surplus energy from the PV system is primarily used for charging, and variable tariffs are used for the remaining electricity if and when available. This combination facilitates the most cost-effective charging.

NEXT TRIP MODE

Next Trip Mode enables charging for a defined distance (in kWh) driven at a fixed point in time. The amount of energy for the planned trip as well as the time are simply set in the app. The Wattpilot then charges the electric vehicle with the required amount of energy by the desired time. During this process, priority is given to surplus PV and the flexible electricity tariffs are accessed at the most economical times. This means that the defined charge is guaranteed every time – and always at the lowest possible price.

TOP UP SOLAR POWER – WITH PV SURPLUS CHARGING

Charging an electric vehicle with electricity from a PV system makes sense for several reasons:

• PV surplus • Electric car

Increased PV self-consumption rates
Faster ROI of the photovoltaic system
Lower-cost electricity for the electric vehicle

The Wattpilot takes full advantage of these benefits with PV surplus charging.

In particular by switching between 1 and 3 phases and controlling in 1 ampere steps, it is possible to optimally use surplus energy from 1.38 kW to 22 kW. The changeover takes place fully automatically and leads to significantly higher self-consumption rates. Another advantage of surplus charging is that load peaks can be completely avoided during the charging process.

SOLAR.WATTPILOT – EVEN MORE FLEXIBLE WITH THE APP

The Solar.wattpilot app guarantees maximum flexibility and a complete overview for all users of the intelligent charging solution.

Commissioning the Wattpilot is completely straightforward with the app
Clear display of all charging data
Changing charging modes possible from anywhere
Wide range of settings possible

Simply download & get started

Quick selection Use the button directly on the device to switch quickly and easily between Eco and Next Trip modes. Furthermore, press and hold the button to set the precise charging current.

Residual current device Since the Wattpilot detects DC fault current immediately, no upstream type B RCD is required, which results in cost savings.

RFID authentification ID chips or cards can be used for personalised access to the Wattpilot. This allows you to control use in public spaces.

Anti-theft device When charging in public areas, in underground car parks or in a carport, electric vehicle owners can implement a setting that prevents the cable being simply disconnected from the Wattpilot. This makes theft impossible. Additionally, the unit can be protected with a padlock.

Wattpilot in action

“Thanks to its fast and accurate control, the Wattpilot adapts perfectly to my PV generation. This means that no surplus energy is lost from the PV system.

The Wattpilot and GEN24 also interact exceptionally well.”

Franz Breitwieser,
Wattpilot user & product manager of GEN24

INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY FOR GREATER SUSTAINABILITY

The Fronius Wattpilot is an important part of our vision of 24 hours of sun. The following facts underline this:

We promote emission-free mobility with our charging solution to significantly improve the climate.
Anyone with the Wattpilot and their own PV system can charge their electric vehicles independently and sustainably
Adjustable modes enable particularly resource-conserving charging.

Webinar: Intelligent charging with Wattpilot & app

In this webinar you will learn everything you need to know about operating and configuring the Fronius Wattpilot with the Solar.wattpilot App. Our experts explain step by step how to use the individual functions and charging modes. You will also get an overview of the app's range of functions and the options available for visualising and controlling the charging process.
