- Page 17 Yes. If you have a solar system that is constantly exporting electricity to the grid, then the Ocular IQ Home Solar will allow you to use that excess solar efficiently to recharge your vehicle’s battery. CT Clamps installed on the incoming mains supply are used to measure the excess solar being sent to the grid in real time.
- Page 18 For the most part, any excess solar produced by the system will be absorbed by the battery. The Ocular IQ Home Solar modes work by using CT clamps to understand what you are exporting out to the grid. You may find that the home battery is absorbing most of your excess solar generated first and so what’s going out to the grid is minimal.
- Page 19 HOW MUCH EXCESS SOLAR ENERGY IS MY HOME IS PRODUCING? You can tell this from the Energy tab on the Ocular app. This will differ slightly depending on whether your system is single or three phase. For single-phase, only one (1) value will be shown on this screen.
- Page 20 Single Phase The negative sign indicates that power is in excess and is being exported from the solar panels to the grid. When this number is consistently between 0 and -7 amps there is not sufficient excess solar to use solar only. Three Phase There will be three numbers presented on the app.
