TSUN + Zaptec

What Zerofy can do with TSUN 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.
• Many TSUN systems are small (typically 0.8–3 kW). A balcony system rarely produces the 1.4 kW needed to start charging, so solar charging works best with larger TSUN installations; Smart mode can still move charging to the cheapest hours.
• Zerofy gets new TSUN data every 5 minutes and adjusts accordingly. A minimum runtime and an activation threshold in Autopilot keep passing clouds from interrupting charging.
• 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 TSUN and Zaptec offer on their own

TSUN: TSUN offers no EV charger and no surplus-charging function. An 800 W balcony system also stays below the about 1.4 kW a charger needs at its 6 A minimum.

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 TSUN 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 TSUN and Zaptec in Zerofy

1. Connect TSUN

Zerofy connects to the TSUN cloud with your TSUN Smart login and reads your inverter data.

1. Register your system in the TSUN Smart app.
2. In Zerofy, add an inverter, choose TSUN and log in with your TSUN Smart credentials.

Good to know: Only TSUN Smart accounts work (inverter IDs starting with Y); TSUN Home accounts are not supported. Battery and meter data are only partly available, depending on the system.

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 TSUN solar production.
