SolarEdge EV Charger Overview 

The SolarEdge EV Charger is a smart AC home charger designed to work with compatible SolarEdge solar and home-energy equipment. When the correct inverter, meter and communication setup are in place, it can help homeowners manage EV charging alongside their overall household energy use.

The system can:

• Use available excess solar for EV charging
• Set charging schedules
• Track charging history
• Start or stop charging remotely
• Adjust charging around household electricity demand
• Show EV charging data together with solar-production information

The original SolarEdge Home model can still provide normal EV charging without a SolarEdge solar system. However, controlled excess-solar charging requires a compatible SolarEdge inverter, an import/export meter and communication between the connected devices.

Key Features of the SolarEdge EV Charger

SolarEdge Integration and Excess-Solar Charging

The charger works with compatible SolarEdge inverters, batteries and meters, allowing users to manage solar generation, household energy use and EV charging in one system. With the correct meter setup, extra rooftop solar can be used to charge the car instead of being exported to the grid.

7.4kW and 22kW Charging Options

The original model delivers up to 7.4kW on a 32A single-phase connection, making it suitable for overnight charging. The newer SolarEdge ONE EV Charger supports single- and three-phase power with output up to 22kW. Actual speed depends on the home’s power supply and the vehicle’s AC charging limit.

App Control and Smart Energy Management

The mySolarEdge app lets users monitor charging, set schedules and start or stop charging remotely. The newer model also includes load balancing and automatic phase switching.

Cable Length and Connector Options

The original charger is available with a 7.6-metre Type 2 cable. The newer model uses a Type 2 socket and can also be configured as a tethered charger. Buyers should confirm whether the cable is included in the quote.

Indoor and Outdoor Installation

Both models have an IP54 rating and can be installed indoors or outdoors. However, the charger should be placed away from flood-prone areas and excessive weather exposure.

Warranty and Support

Both charger generations include a three-year product warranty. Installation workmanship may have a separate installer warranty, so both should be confirmed before purchase.

SolarEdge EV Charger Price in Australia

The following guide prices apply to the 7.4kW residential model:

Cost item	Guide price
Charger hardware	AUD $1,300–$1,800
Standard installation	AUD $800–$1,500
Typical installed cost	AUD $2,000–$3,000

The final cost may increase if the installation requires a switchboard upgrade, long cable run, trenching, three-phase work or additional metering.

Pricing for the newer 22kW model should be confirmed through a site-specific quote.

Price note: Final price may vary based on location and installation requirements.

SolarEdge EV Charger Charging Times 

Charging time depends on the charger output, property supply, battery capacity and the vehicle’s onboard AC charging limit. Installing a 22kW wall charger does not guarantee that every vehicle will charge at 22kW. A vehicle limited to 7kW or 11kW AC charging will remain limited to that rate.

EV battery capacity	At 7.4kW	At 11kW	At 22kW
40kWh	About 6 hours	About 4 hours	About 2 hours
50kWh	About 7.5 hours	About 5 hours	About 2.5 hours
60kWh	About 9 hours	About 6 hours	About 3 hours
75kWh	About 11.5 hours	About 7.5 hours	About 4 hours

These are approximate empty-to-full times with an allowance for common AC charging losses. Daily top-ups are usually much shorter because most drivers do not arrive home with a completely empty battery.

The original charger provides up to 7.4kW, while the newer charger can provide up to 22kW on a suitable three-phase connection.

SolarEdge EV Charger Installation Cost

The SolarEdge EV charger installation cost varies depending on the condition of the switchboard, the distance between the charger and the electrical panel, the cable route and the amount of electrical work needed.

A typical installation may include:

• A site inspection and load assessment
• A dedicated circuit with the required protection
• Wall mounting and electrical wiring
• Meter or CT installation, where needed
• App and network setup
• System testing and commissioning
• Electrical compliance documentation

For a standard single-phase setup, installation generally costs around AUD $800–$1,500. The final price may be higher if the job requires a switchboard upgrade, trenching, a long cable run or three-phase electrical work.

The charger should always be installed and tested by a suitably licensed electrician.
