4.2 System overview with power management
The SOL APOLLO EV charger provides the Load Balance function for users
when installed together with an energy meter. This function automatically
adjusts the charging power depending on the power flow within the system,
When the homes’power consumption is stable and the PV power increases,
the EV charger charging power will increase accordingly. The increase of power
will be no greater than 32 A and can be also limited by the EV on-board charger
(OBC).
Figure 3: System Layout Overview (example with SOL7.4H)
4.3 LED Indicators
The EV charger is equipped with one LED strip which provides information
about the various operating states represented by four colours.

14 User Manua UM0027_ SOL APOLLO Series 7.4-22K_EN_V01_0822
connection between the EV charger and a smart mobile device.
Ethernet (optional)
The EV charger is supplied with Solplanet Speedwire as optional
configuration, which is a type of communication based on the Ethernet
standard. Solplanet Speedwire is designed for a data transfer rate of 100
Mbps and enables optimum communication between the EV charger and the

FDD/WCDMA/GSM network connection link in situations where there is no
WLAN or ethernet available.
NFC Authorization
This function activates the EV charger by detecting the digital key stored in a
smart phone or smart device. Check whether the smart phone is compatible
with NFC and NFC function which is required to be activated. Follow your
smart phone’s NFC instructions and place the authorized RFID card on the
phone’s NFC area, and copy the card data onto your smart phone. Please
note that this function does not support iPhone or other apple products due to
Apple’s restrictions for NFC.
4.5 Special Features
Dynamic load balancing (requires an energy meter)
Dynamic load balancing ensures you never overdraw your property’s power
capacity by balancing the power consumption between your EV charger and
other electrical household appliances. The system measures the power
consumption of the house by the energy meter and allocates all available
power to your EV. The charge power is continuously adjusted, in response to
changes in generation or power consumption elsewhere around the house.
You can maintain a safe and convenient charging at all times while keeping

User Manua UM0027_ SOL APOLLO Series 7.4-22K_EN_V01_0822 15
costs low.The EV charger may prioritise the use of excess solar power
generated by a PV system, if available, rather than the grid power.
