Looking for advice regarding Solar, Load Manager, and EV charger integration.
As the title states, I’m looking for an effective solution for charging an eventual EV.
As our home is fully electrified, we need an accompanying load management device: something that automatically reduces the current to the EV charger during times of high demand inside my home.
Some details:
We have a 12.25 KW solar array;
We have a Solaredge string inverter;
We have a Leviton 200A 120/240V Outdoor Meter Main Comb;
Leviton 66-space, 66 circuit indoor load center with 225A Main Circuit breaker;
Leviton Whole-Home Surge Protector;
Leviton Whole-Home Energy Monitor.
We can install some Smart Breakers but just wondering here what some might consider to be a suitable EV charger and load manager. I’ve seen Emporio and Tesla’s products.
I’m wondering, since we have all of the Leviton equipment, if another system might make sense.
Of note: we are interested in a universal charger if that helps. Down the road, we may decide to purchase a Chinese-made EV.
Lastly, the ability for bi-directional charging, even though it’s currently not a thing here in Ontario, would be an added perk.
Thanks in advance everyone! 🙏
