Sungrow + Zaptec

What Zerofy can do with Sungrow and Zaptec

In practice

• Zerofy can switch your Zaptec 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 Sungrow 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 Sungrow 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 Sungrow 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.
• Ask whoever set up the charger to make you site owner in the Zaptec portal or to grant the permissions; otherwise Zerofy can only switch charging on and off instead of following the surplus. With phase switching the Go 2 starts at about 1.4 kW on one phase; on three phases it needs about 4.1 kW.

What Sungrow and Zaptec offer on their own

Sungrow: Sungrow sells its own AC chargers (AC007E-01, AC011E-01, AC22E-01), whose Eco mode charges on surplus when the charger is paired with a Sungrow hybrid inverter via WiNet. Larger setups with up to three chargers need the Sungrow iHomeManager; third-party wallboxes are not controlled by iSolarCloud itself.

Zaptec: Since June 2026 Zaptec offers its own solar charging in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Luxembourg for Go, Go 2 and Pro. It needs a Zaptec Sense (Generic or P1) that detects local production, a Home installation with up to three chargers and a TN grid; the app then offers “Surplus + grid” and “Surplus only”.

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

Setting up Sungrow and Zaptec in Zerofy

1. Connect Sungrow

Zerofy connects to your Sungrow system through the iSolarCloud cloud, using your iSolarCloud login.

1. Make sure your Sungrow inverter is online and registered in iSolarCloud.
2. Add Sungrow in Zerofy and log in with your iSolarCloud credentials.

2. Connect Zaptec

Zerofy connects with your Zaptec portal login and controls charging, current and phases through the Zaptec cloud.

1. Make sure your Zaptec charger is online and registered in the Zaptec portal.
2. In Zerofy, add a Zaptec charger and enter your Zaptec portal credentials.

Good to know: Only the site owner in the Zaptec portal may change current and phases. Without that permission Zerofy can only start and stop charging, and the app tells you so. Charging sessions only appear in the history after the car has been unplugged.

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your Zaptec 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 Zaptec 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 Sungrow solar production.
