Initial findings from the installation of #SolarEdge #EV Charger:
- it is actually a KEBA KeContact P30 device
- there's off-the-shelf accessories available (such as mounting posts) once you know the real name
- the initial connection setup is *very* fiddly, until you get it to connect to Wi-Fi
- seriously, do yourself a favour and connect it via Ethernet, you have to run a 32A rated 3 phase cable to it anyway
- #PV power following works, however: minimum charging current is 6A per phase, so 4.14 kW on a 3-phase connection
- there's an optional KeContact S10 phase-switcher device that allows the charger to switch between 3-phase and 1-phase operation modes, this allow 1-phase charging with power as low as 1.38 kW
- I'm reasonably sure this can be installed afterwards too, if I find the 3-phase only operation not toggling on often enough with my PV system
- once enabled, it integrates into the SolarEdge app nicely enough
- I've also got it exporting data into #HomeAssistant, still need to verify data correctness
