I would love to hear your thoughts as you get into the monotony of using it every day for a while. I'm curious about this charger, too, as we're about to have a solar array ourselves with EnPhase inverters and I'm deciding between EnPhase and other options.

 

Here how it’s integrated in the Enphase app

 

Nice! Clipper Creek was always a well regarded charger, hopefully Enphase carries on the tradition of rock solid performance after purchasing CC 3 years ago.

 

It looks good! If you have no other way to easily shut off power to the charger (like a nearby subpanel) I suggest you replace your junction box with a disconnect switch; something like this:

General Duty 60 Amp 2-Pole 2-Wire 240-Volt Non-Fusible Outdoor Safety Switch RBPU

It’s an easy job for any electrician.

It’s on its own circuit breaker, just throw the breaker if things were really really wrong.

 

In hindsight we did many things backwards of what I would do if I were starting today. We started with 3.3 kWp of solar in 2016 and added a heat pump and Ioniq 5 in 2022. Mixing our existing Solar Edge inverter and a Chargepoint EVSE did not provide the integration benefits of your system. However, I knew we had something like 1,500 kWh of surplus electric generation annually prior to the heat pump and EV. I made a rough estimate of the increased electric use from the heat pump and EV and we added another 2.0 kW of solar capacity in 2023. After the first full year with the heat pump, EV and new solar capacity in place I was very happy to see that our current solar generation and electric consumption are closely matched with only 100-200 kWh of excess solar annually.
We're not too concerned about detailed costs versus savings. Saving money wasn't our primary motivation. Any longterm $ savings are certainly a bonus.

 

typical breakers have a mechanical switching life of 10,000 operations. in 10 years, i might use it 500 times. i fully understand about design criteria. my garage wall looks like a lab with subpanel, transfer switch and evse, so i really don't want to add another switch that's not an absolute requirement.
