SAJ + Beny

What Zerofy can do with SAJ and Beny

In practice

• Zerofy adjusts the charging current of your Beny charger but doesn’t switch phases. On a three-phase connection, solar charging needs at least about 4.1 kW of surplus (6 A × 3 × 230 V); on a single-phase connection about 1.4 kW.
• A typical SAJ home system (3–10 kW) needs a sunny midday to reach the 4.1 kW three-phase minimum. Wired single-phase, the charger starts from about 1.4 kW but charges at no more than about 3.7 kW.
• Zerofy gets new SAJ data every 5 minutes and adjusts accordingly. A minimum runtime and an activation threshold in Autopilot keep passing clouds from interrupting charging.
• Zerofy also shows your SAJ battery, so you can see whether surplus goes into the battery or into the car.
• If your car is connected to Zerofy too, turn on Autopilot for either the car or the charger, not both.
• The standard load-balancing kit is not the same as the Solar DLB box: only the solar version unlocks the PV and Hybrid modes. Via OCPP, Zerofy sets the charging power but not the phases, so on a three-phase BENY charging needs at least 6 A per phase, about 4.1 kW of surplus.

What SAJ and Beny offer on their own

SAJ: SAJ’s Caro wallbox (7 kW, 6–32 A, or 11 kW, 6–16 A) can charge from solar and supports OCPP 1.6J. The manual says PV charging needs an SAJ H2+B2, HS2, AS2 or HS3 storage system plus the eManager.

Beny: BENY’s own solar charging needs its Solar DLB box with current clamps at the house connection, configured in the Z-BOX app. It offers “PV” mode (keeps grid draw close to 0 A), “Hybrid” mode (solar plus grid within the DLB limit) and “Full speed”; it does not talk to the inverter.

Zerofy connects the two: it reads SAJ production and controls your Beny charger to match, together with your other devices in one app, with dynamic tariffs and forecast-based Smart mode.

Setting up SAJ and Beny in Zerofy

1. Connect SAJ

Zerofy reads your plant from the SAJ cloud: you add Zerofy as a developer in the Elekeeper app and then enter your Plant ID in Zerofy.

1. In the Elekeeper app, tap ••• and open Plant Management.
2. Under Developer/Partner, paste the Developer ID shown in Zerofy and confirm access.
3. Copy your Plant ID from Plant Management and paste it into Zerofy.

Good to know: How fresh the data is depends on how often the SAJ cloud updates. For the battery, Zerofy supports forced charging but not switching the battery mode.

2. Connect Beny

Zerofy has a dedicated BENY entry in the app, which connects via OCPP; Zerofy can then start, stop and set the charging power.

1. In Zerofy, add a BENY charger and copy the OCPP URL.
2. Paste it into the OCPP settings of your charger’s configuration app.
3. Wait until the charger connects to Zerofy.

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your Beny charger, turn on Autopilot and choose Solar – or Smart to also use dynamic tariffs and forecasts. Set the priority, activation threshold and minimum runtime.

Dynamic tariffs

Zerofy can also run your Beny charger on dynamic electricity prices (EPEX Spot or Nord Pool, e.g. Tibber or aWATTar) or on a fixed time-of-use tariff. Smart mode combines those prices with forecasts of your household consumption and your SAJ solar production.
