SMA + go-e

What Zerofy can do with SMA and go-e

In practice

• Zerofy can switch your go-e Charger between one and three phases. Solar charging can therefore start at about 1.4 kW of surplus (6 A on one phase) and move to three phases once the surplus passes about 4.1 kW.
• A typical SMA home system (3–10 kW) reaches the 1.4 kW single-phase minimum on most bright days; three-phase charging from about 4.1 kW needs a sunny midday or a larger system.
• Zerofy gets new SMA 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 SMA 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 go-eCharger charges from 6 A, about 1.4 kW on one phase and 4.1 kW on three. Zerofy charges single-phase up to about 3.7 kW of surplus and switches to three phases above that; go-e lists automatic phase switching for Gemini models and HOME V3, so older HOME units stay on the phases they are wired with.

What SMA and go-e offer on their own

SMA: SMA’s energy manager, the Sunny Home Manager 2.0, controls up to three SMA EV Charger or SMA eCharger wallboxes, plus Mennekes AMTRON and Spelsberg Smart Pro wallboxes via SEMP. Third-party wallboxes outside that compatibility list are not controlled.

go-e: go-e’s own route to surplus charging is the go-e Controller, which measures the house connection with six current sensors and works with any inverter brand, including automatic 1/3-phase switching. Without the Controller, go-e relies on external energy managers through its open API, Modbus TCP or OCPP.

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

Setting up SMA and go-e in Zerofy

1. Connect SMA

Zerofy connects to your SMA system through the SMA Sunny Portal cloud, using your Sunny Portal login.

1. Make sure your SMA inverter is cloud-capable and registered in Sunny Portal.
2. Add SMA in Zerofy and log in with your Sunny Portal credentials.

2. Connect go-e

Zerofy uses the go-e Cloud HTTP API with your charger’s serial number and API token, sets the charging current and switches between one and three phases.

1. Update the charger to firmware 052 or later and the go-e app to 2.3 or later.
2. In the go-e app, go to Internet → Advanced Settings and turn on the Cloud HTTP API.
3. Copy the API token shown there and enter it in Zerofy together with the charger’s serial number.

Good to know: Supported are Gemini 2.0 (serial 400000+), Gemini (200000–399999) and HOME (050000–199999).

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your go-e 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 go-e 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 SMA solar production.

About SMA and go-e

SMA – German inverter maker based in Niestetal near Kassel. Homes typically have a Sunny Boy (single-phase) or Sunny Tripower (three-phase) string inverter, or a Sunny Boy Smart Energy (3.6–6 kW) or Sunny Tripower Smart Energy hybrid inverter with the SMA Home Storage battery (3.28 kWh modules, up to 16.4 kWh). Monitoring app: SMA Sunny Portal / SMA Energy app.

go-e – go-e is an Austrian charger maker. The current go-eCharger Gemini 2.0 (11 or 22 kW) has documented local and cloud APIs, MQTT, Modbus TCP, a freely configurable OCPP backend and an eSIM; according to the data sheet it is not approved for the Netherlands, France or Italy. Products: go-eCharger Gemini 2.0, Gemini, HOME.
