Weiheng + OCPP chargers

What Zerofy can do with Weiheng and OCPP chargers

In practice

• Zerofy adjusts the charging current of your OCPP 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 Weiheng home system (3.6–13 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 Weiheng 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 Weiheng 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.
• Many chargers switch off their own app or solar mode while an external OCPP backend is active (for example enercab, Growatt THOR, SolaX in its OCPP scene), so Zerofy takes over. Zerofy sets the power over OCPP but not the phases, so a three-phase charger needs about 4.1 kW of surplus (3×6 A) unless it switches phases by itself.

What Weiheng and OCPP chargers offer on their own

Weiheng: WHES sells its own AC chargers (e.g. WH-ECA-7.0 with 7 kW, 32 A, plus a 22 kW model) that it describes as compatible with PV and battery systems, with load balancing. The ECOS app manages EV chargers, but WHES doesn’t publish how surplus charging works or which third-party wallboxes are supported.

OCPP chargers: OCPP itself has no solar mode: since 1.6 it carries smart-charging profiles, so the backend sets the current limit and decides when to charge. Solar behaviour therefore comes from whichever system is the backend, or from the charger’s own meter-based mode.

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

Setting up Weiheng and OCPP chargers in Zerofy

1. Connect Weiheng

Zerofy connects through Weiheng’s partner cloud: you enter your system’s serial number in Zerofy, and Zerofy links the device and reads inverter, meter and battery data.

1. Make sure your Weiheng system is online.
2. In Zerofy, choose Weiheng and enter the serial number of your system.

2. Connect OCPP chargers

You enter Zerofy’s OCPP URL in your charger’s OCPP settings; Zerofy then acts as the backend and can start, stop and set the charging power.

1. Check that your charger supports OCPP 1.6 and lets you change the backend address.
2. In Zerofy, add an OCPP charger and copy the OCPP URL.
3. Paste it into the OCPP settings of your charger’s app or web page and wait for it to connect.

Good to know: Not every OCPP charger lets the owner choose the backend: some need the installer’s service tool (Alfen, ABB), some pick from a preset list (Peblar) or whitelist the address first (Smappee), and some offer no owner OCPP at all (Tesla Wall Connector, Ohme).

3. Turn on Autopilot

In Zerofy, open your OCPP 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 OCPP 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 Weiheng solar production.

About Weiheng and OCPP chargers

Weiheng – Weiheng (Jiangsu Weiheng Intelligent Technology, Wuxi, China) is a battery storage maker; in 2025 Weiheng Energy Storage and its home brand ECACTUS were merged into the WHES brand. For homes it sells all-in-one hybrid storage systems: the single-phase PP-S2 (3.6–10 kW, 4.99–19.9 kWh) and the three-phase PP-T1 (5–13 kW, 9.98–29.94 kWh). Monitoring app: ECOS.

OCPP chargers – OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) is the open standard from the Open Charge Alliance for communication between a charger and a management system; version 1.6 from 2015 is the most widely used, in its JSON variant 1.6J. A charger can only be connected to one OCPP backend at a time. Products: Any charger with OCPP 1.6J and a freely configurable backend, e.g. Alfen Eve, KEBA KeContact P40, Charge Amps Halo, Autel MaxiCharger, enercab smart.
