2. Why Choose a myenergi Zappi?
If your home has solar panels, a home battery storage system, or you plan to install renewables in the future, the Zappi is widely regarded as the ultimate home chargepoint:
1. Three Dedicated Smart Charging Modes:
– ECO+ Mode (100% Green Energy): Charges your car *only* when surplus solar generation exceeds 1.4kW. If a cloud rolls over and solar output dips below the threshold, charging pauses automatically until generation resumes. Zero grid electricity is consumed!
– ECO Mode (Continuous Solar Maximiser): Charges continuously at a baseline level, but dynamically ramps up output to absorb 100% of excess solar power as the sun shines.
– FAST Mode (Standard 7.4kW): Operates like a conventional fast home charger at maximum speed (approx. 30 miles of range per hour), utilizing grid electricity or off-peak tariffs.
2. Complete myenergi Ecosystem Integration:
Zappi communicates wirelessly with other myenergi devices:
– eddi: Diverts surplus solar to heat your domestic hot water tank.
– libbi: Intelligently balances home battery storage with vehicle charging.
– harvi: Wireless micro-generator sensor eliminating messy internal sensor cabling.
3. No Earth Rod Required:
Patented built-in O-PEN technology safely disconnects all poles (phase, neutral, and earth) in the event of an upstream grid fault, preserving driveway aesthetics without messy ground rods.
4. Dynamic Load Balancing:
Protects your main home electrical fuse by automatically throttling vehicle charging if high-power home appliances (e.g. electric showers, induction hobs) are switched on simultaneously.

7. Frequently Asked Questions: Zappi Chargers
Do I need solar panels to install a Zappi?
No! While Zappi is famous for its solar capabilities, it is also one of the safest, most reliable 7.4kW home chargers on the market without solar. If you install solar panels or home batteries later, your Zappi is already 100% prepared.
How does Zappi know when my solar panels are generating power?
During installation, our electrician fits a Current Transformer (CT) clamp around your main incoming electricity supply cable. This clamp measures whether your home is importing power from the grid or exporting surplus electricity, signalling the Zappi to adjust charging output accordingly.
Can Zappi work alongside my home battery storage (like Tesla Powerwall or GivEnergy)?
Yes. Zappi integrates cleanly alongside existing battery systems. You can set priority hierarchies so your solar generation fills your home battery first, then diverts into your EV, or vice versa.
