Queensland 20A limit + Solar to 32A?

General Discussion
1

With a Qld install with the charger limited to 20A (4.6kw) is it possible to:

  • Draw 4.6kw from the Grid
  • Divert 2.4kw from Solar (if available)

For a total of 7kw for charging?

Thanks - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,

Thanks for getting in touch!

Currently, this is not possible; the max charging current is capped at 20A grid or solar.

We are currently in discussions with Energy QLD for this exact proposal; however, this is yet to be approved.

Kind regards,

Pedro

Thanks, good to know there’s something in progress.

Related - can the Energex remote cutoff (via ripple control I think?) be added after installation at a later date to allow 32A charging?

No worries Lindsay :slight_smile:

Yes it can, we would then change the max charging current to 32A remotely once the change was confirmed by the electrician/property owner.

Once this happens, you can send the paperwork confirmation from Energex to support@evnex.com, and our support team can assist in making the changes.
