At Intersolar 2025, SolarEdge Technologies, a provider of smart energy technology, launched a solar-powered EV charging innovation for businesses.
Available now, the new innovation includes a new EV charger for businesses, powered and controlled by an energy management system introduced following Wevo Energy’s acquisition last year. The innovation joins the SolarEdge C&I ecosystem for commercial-scale solar and storage solutions.
Businesses with SolarEdge’s solar systems can now charge their EV fleet with ‘power-optimised’ solar energy to further reduce their energy bills – with one of the first beta customers reporting a reduction in EV charging costs of approximately 70%.
Christoph Vogl, CEO of BV-comOffice, a German office retailer and one of the first customers to deploy the new SolarEdge EV charging solution, comments, “Since installing SolarEdge’s PV and EV charging solution, we have managed to cut our EV fleet charging costs by around 70% – a substantial saving on our energy bill.
“I’ve also been impressed by how adaptable the system is – it allows us to prioritise different vehicles, so we can ensure our sales reps are always road-ready, while other employees can have their cars charged by the end of the day. Our employees are also really pleased to be charging their cars with clean energy – it’s been a hit across the board.”
Designed to maximise solar self-consumption and use of excess solar, the SolarEdge ONE EV Charger is now available for commercial applications and is expected to be available for residential applications in Q3 2025.
Featuring a new sleek, slim and compact design, the SolarEdge ONE EV Charger will be suitable for both single-phase and three-phase modes with automatic switching built-in. With snap-on wall mounting and multiple cable entry points, installation is faster, simpler and more flexible, taking just a few minutes. The EV charger is also supported by ‘Olivia’, a newly released AI phone support agent purpose-built for EV charging.
The EV charging solution combines customer-specific EV charging schedules and solar generation patterns with real-time grid electricity prices to autonomously calculate the most economical energy source to charge a fleet of EVs – whether that’s with solar, battery or grid. Leveraging SolarEdge’s C&I Inverters ability to provide up to 175% oversizing, excess solar can be redirected to power EV fleets.
The system also enables ‘tiered charging modes’, allowing priority users – such as sales reps who need their car throughout the day – to access grid power if needed; while other non-priority vehicles are set to charge only when solar is available. By dynamically boosting or throttling EV charging based on real-time energy loads, the new solution is also designed to allow scaling up to 20 times more chargers on existing infrastructure, while ensuring the building’s energy load is not exceeded.
