FAQS

Have more questions on EV car charging? Click here to see our common questions in regards to charging stations and accessories.

No, the hardware unit can be operated as a smart EV charger that can still schedule, record and monitor all your charging sessions. Solar modes or CT clamps can be connected in the future for an added cost. The CT clamps will also allow the charger to be load managed, meaning that your home is protected from overloading during charging sessions.
The CT Clamps that come with the charger have a cable length of 20 metres. If the charger needs to be installed further way from the switch box than 20m, the installing electrician can extend the CT clamp cables by following the instructions in the installation guide. The CT clamps can be extended up to 75 metres.
If the unit goes offline the charger will actively try to re-connect. The app will not work if the WI-FI has dropped out. If this happens charger will not work unless “plug and charge” was set on the app or until the WI-FI signal returns. If you change WI-FI password you will need to refer to the installation guide to reset it
Yes, The IQ Home Solar is compatible with every EV in Australia and New Zealand that use and adhere to the Type 2 charging standard.
Yes. If you have a solar system that is constantly exporting electricity to the grid, then the Ocular IQ Home Solar will allow you to use that excess solar efficiently to recharge your vehicle’s battery. CT Clamps installed on the incoming mains supply are used to measure the excess solar being sent to the grid in real time.
A solar-compatible EV charger monitors your home’s solar production and intelligently directs excess energy to your EV charger for efficient charging.
Yes, a solar EV charger can help lower electricity costs by using excess solar energy generated from your home instead of relying entirely on grid power.
Savings depend on your driving distance, your electricity tariff and the size of your solar system, but the arithmetic is straightforward. A typical Australian EV uses around 15 kWh per 100 km. Driving 12,000 km a year therefore consumes roughly 1,800 kWh. Charged entirely from the grid at a peak rate, that energy is a meaningful annual cost. Charged from surplus solar you would otherwise have exported at a low feed-in tariff, the effective cost falls to a fraction of that. As a guide, here is roughly how much additional solar capacity you need to cover your daily driving from surplus generation, assuming 15 kWh per 100 km and four peak sun hours a day: Up to 20 km per day – approx. 1 kW of additional panels 20 to 40 km per day – approx. 2 kW of additional panels 40 to 60 km per day – approx. 3 kW of additional panels Use Solar Assist mode to capture surplus even on days when generation is inconsistent.
The Ocular IQ Home Solar uses the Type 2 (IEC 62196) connector standard adopted by every electric vehicle sold new in Australia and New Zealand. It is compatible with Audi, BMW, BYD, Cupra, Deepal, Ford, GWM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Leapmotor, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, MG, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Renault, Skoda, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, Xpeng and Zeekr. At 7 kW the IQ Home Solar adds approximately 40 km of driving range per hour of charge, which fully replenishes most Australian EVs overnight. On a three-phase supply the 22 kW model charges considerably faster, limited by your vehicle’s onboard AC charger rather than the charging station.
