⚡ Ever wondered why your EV charger sometimes drains your solar battery instead of using the cheap off-peak energy from the grid?

In this video, we show you exactly how to stop your EV charger from draining your solar battery — step by step.

The Alps Electrical Ltd team installed a MyEnergi Zappi EV charger alongside 19 AIKO 455 W solar panels and a Fox ESS Cube battery storage system at a home in the North East of England.

This setup ensures the solar & battery system is made to be blinded to the EV charger so that the EV can never take from the solar or battery — maximising efficiency and financial gain by capitalising on the export rates during the day and the cheaper energy at night.

💡 What you’ll learn:
• Why some EV chargers drain solar batteries
• How to configure a Zappi with solar and battery integration
• The correct CT clamp setup and control logic
• How a Fox ESS system manages solar energy flow
• Full solar + battery + EV installation process

⚙️ System Overview:
• 19 × AIKO 455 W solar panels (8.64 kW total)
• Fox ESS Cube battery system
• MyEnergi Zappi smart EV charger
