Solar Integration with Zaptec Go and Zaptec Go 2

Zaptec Go and Zaptec Go 2 chargers support solar integration. This can be achieved via the Zaptec API (using Zaptec dynamic load balancing capabilities) or by controlling the Zaptec Go directly via OCPP Native (using Smart Charging profiles).

Solar integration using Zaptec dynamic load balancing

✅
The installation must be set to Default Charging mode

Confirm that the charger is in an installation that is configured for Dynamic load balancing and is online
Follow the API documentation to track the charger state
Dynamically adjust the current limit in response to the solar output, in accordance with user preferences and expectations
For 3-phase Zaptec Go 2 installations, you can control whether charging occurs on 1- or 3-phases

The charger will then follow the specified charging current and number of phases.

Solar integration using OCPP Native Smart Charging profile on Go

✅
The installation must be set to OCPP Native mode

Confirm that the charger is in an installation that is set to OCPP Native mode, is online and configured for OCPP Native operation
Confirm that the charger is connected to your OCPP Central System
Send the OCPP SmartCharging profile to the charger via your OCPP Central System

The charger will then follow the specified smart charging profile.
