Suitable Fronius inverters
*Requirement:
**Requirement:
Suitable generators from third-party manufacturers
Suitable generators can be, for example, inverters or wind power plants. A prerequisite for compatibility with external generators is that no other self-consumption controllers (with e.g. battery, Power-2-Heat) are operated in parallel. This can lead to PV optimisation malfunctions. The proportion of energy consumed by other loads is not taken into account in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, as the power is only known at the grid connection point.

Behind the symbol is the card reader for reading ID chips and the reset card.
The card reader uses RFID (radio-frequency identification). RFID is the transmitter‑receiver technology for automatic and contactless identification with radio waves.
By pressing the pushbutton, the level of charging current can be adjusted or the operating mode can be changed.
Press briefly (less than 0.5 s)
Briefly pressing the pushbutton changes the operating mode. The charging modes are Eco Mode and Next Trip Mode. The selected charging mode (see Different charging modes) is indicated by the LED status indicator (see LED status indicator).
Press and hold (more than 2.0 s)
Pressing and holding (min. 2 seconds) the pushbutton repeatedly changes the preset charging current (in amperes). The level of the set charging current is indicated by the LED status indicator (see LED status indicator).
The level of the preset charging current can be adjusted in the app (see Current level).
Standard settings
The ID chip can be used to personalise access to the Fronius Wattpilot. The ID chip is used for authentication and for recording user-specific charging amounts.
In the app settings, authentication for charging can be activated under "Access management" and "Authentication required" (see Access management). Charging with authentication activated can be carried out after scanning the supplied ID chip or by providing confirmation in the app. To scan, hold the ID chip directly in front of the card reader of the Wattpilot.
Each ID chip can be assigned a name in the app under "ID chips". The stored charging amount per ID chip can be viewed in this menu (see ID chips).
No authentication is required in order to assign the charging amount to the ID chips.
The reset card resets all settings (e.g. access management, WLAN and LED settings) to the factory settings. The taught-in ID chips and the corresponding charging amounts continue to be stored.
The following information is printed on the reset card.
Resetting the Wattpilot
Keep the reset card safe!
The reset card contains all access data.

The Wattpilot can be used like any other charging station. For start-up, the charging cable must be plugged in and the Wattpilot starts charging. By pressing the pushbutton (see Pushbutton functions), it is possible to switch between the charging modes (see Different charging modes) and change the level of charging current (see Current level).
The Wattpilot can be used like any other charging station. For start-up, the charging cable must be plugged in and the Wattpilot starts charging. By pressing the pushbutton (see Pushbutton functions), it is possible to switch between the charging modes (see Different charging modes) and change the level of charging current (see Current level).
The Fronius Wattpilot can automatically switch between 1‑phase and 3‑phase charging. The automatic phase changeover enables charging with a low start-up power (1‑phase with 1.38 kWh) in the case of a PV surplus. In addition, 1‑phase charging has the advantage that the charging power can be regulated in smaller increments (0.23 kW) and a small PV surplus can be used more efficiently. As 1‑phase charging is limited by the car, it makes sense to switch to 3‑phase charging at a higher PV surplus.
The phase changeover can be set automatically or manually (see PV surplus).
Do not exceed the phase‑load imbalance!
Select the phase changeover point in such a way that the maximum permissible phase‑load imbalance is not exceeded.
A minimum charging time of 5 minutes is stored.
To prevent permanent switching of the relays and to increase the service life of the Wattpilot, a minimum charging time of 5 minutes is stored.
The surplus energy of a PV system (photovoltaic system) can be used. The prerequisites for this are a compatible inverter in the same network as the Wattpilot and a Fronius Smart Meter (for more information, see Data communication with the inverter).
Setting limit values ensures that the available PV surplus power is distributed to the loads. The limit values created allow an energy storage system to be sufficiently charged or the energy to be stored in the form of hot water before the surplus PV power is used to charge a vehicle.
PV surplus regulation.
One Wattpilot per photovoltaic system.
The PV surplus regulation works with one Wattpilot per photovoltaic system.
If several Wattpilots are connected to one inverter, "Use PV surplus" may only be activated on one Wattpilot. For all other Wattpilots, "Use PV surplus" must be deactivated (for more information, see Cost optimisation).
It is possible to set a start-up power level (specified in kW). This must be reached by the photovoltaic system before the Wattpilot starts charging the car with the minimum current.
It is possible to set a 3‑phase power level (specified in kW). This must be reached by the photovoltaic system before the Wattpilot switches from 1‑phase to 3‑phase charging.
The settings for the start-up power level and 3‑phase power level can be made under Cost optimisation in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
The power level can only be regulated in increments of 1 ampere. The table below lists the charging current in amperes (A) and the corresponding charging power for 1‑phase and 3‑phase charging in kilowatts (kW). 1-phase in 0.23 kW increments, 3-phase in 0.69 kW increments. The values are based on the assumption that the voltage is exactly 230 or 400 V.
Charging current (A) | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 32 |
1‑phase (kW) | 1.38 | 1.84 | 2.3 | 2.76 | 3.22 | 3.68 | 4.6 | 5.52 | 7.36 |
3‑phase (kW) | 4.14 | 5.52 | 6.9 | 8.28 | 9.66 | 11 | 13.8 | 16.56 | 22 |
Example
Photovoltaic generation | |
Electric vehicle |
The figure illustrates the behaviour of the Wattpilot with a set start-up power level of 1.38 kW and a 3‑phase power level of 4.14 kW. If the PV surplus is less than 1.38 kW, the vehicle is not charged.
If the PV surplus is between 1.38 and 4.14 kW, the Wattpilot regulates the charging power in 0.23 kW increments.
If the PV surplus is above 4.14 kW, the Wattpilot switches from 1‑phase charging to 3‑phase charging and regulates the charging power in 0.69 kW increments.
The minimum charging power of electric vehicles is usually 1.38 kW.
In the case of smaller photovoltaic systems, it may make sense to set the start-up power level below 1.38‑kW so that sufficient energy is charged. The electricity that is not covered by the photovoltaic system, however, is drawn from the grid. This results in a power mix of self-consumption and grid supply.
A start-up power level below 1.38 kW results in a power mix.
Charging with PV surplus can be activated and adjusted in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see Cost optimisation).
Priorities in the system between battery, Ohmpilot and Wattpilot
The priority of the Wattpilot can be influenced via the "PV battery limit value" and "Ohmpilot limit value" settings in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see chapter Cost optimisation). Depending on the level of the selected limit values, it is possible to define under which conditions the charging of the electric vehicle starts. The temperature limit value of the Ohmpilot can only be used if a temperature sensor is connected to the Ohmpilot. To set the Wattpilot priority, the energy management priority settings on the website for the inverter must also be taken into account.
If no temperature sensor is connected to the Fronius Ohmpilot, a temperature of 0 °C is assumed. If the Wattpilot is to be prioritised over the Ohmpilot, set the "Ohmpilot limit value" to 0 °C. In the event of a sensor break, the Ohmpilot is supplied with power before the Wattpilot.
Example: Charging the electric vehicle first
The electric vehicle must always be charged with PV surplus before the battery and the Ohmpilot. In the Solar.wattpilot app, the limit value for the battery is set to 0% and the limit value for the Ohmpilot is set to 0 degrees. The electric vehicle is immediately charged with PV surplus, regardless of the state of charge of the battery or the temperature of the Ohmpilot.
Priority in the inverter | Wattpilot | Battery** | Ohmpilot |
Battery** > Ohmpilot | Priority 3 until SOC* and temperature limit value reached, then 1 | Priority 1 until SOC*, then 2 | Priority 2 until temperature limit value reached, then 3 |
Ohmpilot > Battery** | Priority 3 until SOC* and temperature limit value reached, then 1 | Priority 2 until SOC*, then 3 | Priority 1 until temperature limit value reached, then 2 |
Priority in the inverter | Wattpilot | Ohmpilot |
Ohmpilot | Priority 2 until temperature limit value reached, then 1 | Priority 1 until temperature limit value reached, then 2 |
Priority in the inverter | Wattpilot | Battery** |
Battery** | Priority 2 until SOC*, then 1 | Priority 1 until SOC*, then 2 |
*SOC - State of Charge of the stationary battery
**Fronius-compatible DC coupled battery
The component with the highest priority in the inverter is taken into account.
If, for example, a battery in the inverter is prioritised higher than an Ohmpilot and the battery limit value is set to 50% and the Ohmpilot limit value is set to 50 °C, the Wattpilot will start charging when the battery reaches 50% SOC. The Ohmpilot is not supplied with energy until the electric vehicle and battery are fully charged.
IMPORTANT!
The energy management with the digital outputs (I/Os) on the Fronius inverter must not be used for load management of the Wattpilot! The priorities of the loads are not clearly assigned.
The flexible electricity tariff can be used if electricity is purchased from electricity retailers and charged for hourly via the electricity exchange, e.g.
The Wattpilot queries the retailer tariffs directly via the Internet. It is possible to specify a price threshold (Eco Mode price limit) below which charging starts. This is the pure electricity price, without network charges or other fees.
Example
The following figure shows the electricity price of an electricity retailer (Lumina Strom hourly, aWattar hourly) over 24 hours. The hourly tariffs are retrieved from the electricity exchange at a specific time for the next day.
Information regarding electricity retailers with a flexible electricity tariff can be found under
In standard mode, charging takes place at the preset amperage (e.g. 16 A). The level of charging current can be changed in increments by pressing the pushbutton on the Wattpilot. In the app (see Current level), the charging current can be adjusted in 1 ampere increments.
In standard mode, no operating mode LEDs light up.
Whereas charging at a low charging current is gentle, charging at a high charging current enables rapid charging. If necessary, charging is carried out with electricity sourced from the grid.
Standard mode
Standard mode is the standard setting of the Wattpilot; no LEDs light up white. In this charging mode, the PV surplus and the flexible electricity tariff are not taken into account.
No further settings are required for standard mode.

In Eco Mode, a vehicle is only charged when low-cost electricity is available. Charging can either take place with cheaply purchased electricity (see Flexible electricity tariff) or surplus energy produced by the photovoltaic system (see PV surplus). There is no guarantee that charging will occur.
Prerequisite
Charging in Eco Mode is only possible if PV surplus and/or a Flexible electricity tariff is activated under PV surplus in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
Charging not possible.
If there is no surplus generated power or cheap electricity available, charging is not carried out in Eco Mode.
Change mode for guaranteed charging.
Enable
Eco Mode can be configured in the app under Cost optimisation and activated by pressing the pushbutton (< 0.5 s) or via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
The battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged first!
If the system contains a stationary battery, the battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged when the electricity price falls below the threshold before mains current is drawn.
Example
Photovoltaic generation | |
Electric vehicle | |
Household consumption |
In Eco Mode, the electric vehicle is connected to the Wattpilot at around 15:00, as although a fixed additional range for the electric vehicle is not necessary, cheaper electricity is to be used for charging. In the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, the PV surplus and/or flexible electricity tariff must be activated and set under Cost optimisation. Household consumption is covered by photovoltaic generation and the electric vehicle is charged with the PV surplus. Charging takes place using the PV surplus until around 20:00. Between 02:00 and 05:00, the electricity price falls below the defined price limit. The electric vehicle is charged with cheap electricity during this period.
Charging in Eco Mode
PV surplus | Price limit | Wattpilot |
---|---|---|
No | No | No charging |
No | Yes | Max. charging |
Yes | No | Charging with PV surplus |
Yes | Yes | Max. charging |
In Next Trip Mode, a vehicle is charged as cheaply as possible until the end of the self-selected time with the set charging amount. The time charging starts is selected in such a way that the desired charging amount is charged at least one hour before the charge end. Charging takes place in the cheapest cost window. The PV surplus and flexible electricity tariff settings are taken into account. If the "Stay in Eco Mode" function (for activation see Next Trip Mode) is activated, the Wattpilot continues charging with low-cost energy after the set charging amount has been reached.
The set charging amount is charged in addition to the charging amount available in the electric vehicle. The charging amount is specified in kilometres and calculated on the basis of an average consumption (18 kWh/100 km). External conditions (season, driving speed, car model, etc.) may cause deviations in the actual range. When setting the charging amount, the actual state of charge of the electric vehicle battery is not read out.
The mode can be set under "Next Trip Mode" in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see Next Trip Mode).
After activating the mode, charging is started briefly to calculate a charging schedule taking into account the possible charging power. If no flexible electricity tariff is activated, charging is started at the latest possible time in order to charge with a possible PV surplus and to conserve the battery of the electric vehicle. If no time is provided for the calculation of the charging schedule, charging starts immediately.
Internet connection required if a flexible electricity tariff is activated!
If the flexible electricity tariff is activated in Next Trip Mode and there is no connection to the electricity provider's data, the Next Trip Mode LED flashes red. Charging starts in order to reach the set charging amount.
If the charging cable is disconnected and reconnected while Next Trip Mode is activated, the calculation is repeated and the set charging amount is charged in addition to the existing charging amount. Changes to the settings of the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app result in a recalculation of the charging schedule. If the change is made during Next Trip Mode charging, the range charged up to this point is added to this.
If "Stay in Eco Mode" is activated, the cost optimisation settings are also taken into account in Next Trip Mode.
The battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged first!
If the system contains a stationary battery, the battery is discharged before mains current is drawn.
Orange flashing LEDs if the charging amount cannot be reached or stored!
If the set charging amount cannot be charged in the specified time or if the car cannot store the set charging amount, the LEDs flash orange.
Reduce the charging amount or extend the charging time.

Household consumption |
The daily journey to work and back home is 50 km and must start at 08:00. In the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, the kilometres and the departure time must be entered once under Next Trip Mode. 18 kWh is used as the basis for the calculation of 100 km. The electric vehicle is plugged in and charged at approximately 15:00. If PV surplus is available, charging is carried out with PV surplus. The remaining charging amount is guaranteed to be charged in the electric vehicle at the latest possible time. The charge is calculated in such a way that it is completed at the latest one hour before departure.
If there is sufficient energy in the electric vehicle, it is better to use Eco Mode zu.
If the electric vehicle is sufficiently charged, Eco Mode is the better choice.
Change to Eco Mode (see Eco Mode).

When installing the Wattpilot HOME 11 J, the mains cable must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with national standards. The fuse protection for the mains lead must be dimensioned in accordance with the device technical data.
Danger from mains voltage!
An electric shock can be fatal.
Always make sure the circuit is disconnected and de-energised before carrying out any connection work.
The connection may only be established by an authorised electrician.
Observe the national standards.
Disconnect the circuit from the power supply before carrying out any connection work.
Have the 5‑pin mains cable connected by an authorised electrician in accordance with national standards and safety rules. Depending on the available mains supply type, opt for a 1- or 3-phase connection.
For 1-phase operation, phase L1 must be used.
To supply power to the Wattpilot, phase L1 must be connected. The unused phases L2 and L3 must be isolated (contact protection)!
It is advisable to connect the Wattpilot outside the backup power loads of a photovoltaic system!
If the charging current per phase cannot be covered by the backup power, the Wattpilot must be connected outside the backup power loads. A Fronius inverter is required for backup power mode.
If the Wattpilot is connected in the backup power circuit of a photovoltaic system and the total current of one phase is exceeded as a result, the inverter switches off the backup power. The electric vehicle must be unplugged and the backup power acknowledged (see inverter Operating Instructions).
IMPORTANT!
It is important to check whether the electric vehicle allows charging at 53 Hz.
Start up the permanently installed Wattpilot Home 11 J from step 2.
Connect the CEE plug to a suitable socket directly or with a suitable adapter.
The LEDs light up in the rainbow colours during an initial self-test. Afterwards, the number of LEDs corresponding to the set charging current light up blue.
Connect a Type 2 to Type 2/Type 1 charging cable to the Wattpilot and the car.
During a test, all LEDs light up yellow.
The charging process is started with a clicking sound from the Wattpilot and indicated by the switching of the LEDs.
For more information on LED status indicators, see chapter LED status indicator.
The vehicle is charging.
The charging process is terminated by the vehicle. This is normally the case when the vehicle's battery is fully charged. By default, the charging cable remains locked to the Wattpilot after charging is complete until the cable is disconnected from the vehicle (anti-theft protection, see chapter Cable release).
Aborting the charging process prematurelyThe way in which the cable is released can be configured in the app.
If the power supply is interrupted, the charging cable remains locked in the Wattpilot for reasons of theft protection. The cable release can be activated in the app under "Unlock in case of power failure".
Restore the power supply to the Wattpilot to unlock the charging cable.
Configure the cable release in the app.
Charging with PV surplus (see PV surplus) is possible with a supported Fronius inverter to which a primary Fronius Smart Meter is connected. As soon as an inverter is in the network, the Wattpilot automatically connects once with the first inverter that is found.
Another inverter can be coupled via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see Cost optimisation).

Five different current levels can be set. The current levels are selected from Level 1 (gentle) to Level 5 (rapid) by pressing the push button on the Wattpilot. Adjust the desired levels by clicking in the respective field.
Lock current level selection
This setting can be used to lock the push button (key) on the Wattpilot. Locking the push button prevents accidental changing of the current level.
Absolute maximum
This setting is used to adjust the maximum charging current of the Wattpilot. Higher charging currents can no longer be selected.
The infrastructure is not known!
If charging in an unknown infrastructure, always charge with the lowest charging current (e.g. 6 A or 10 A).
Charge with the lowest charging current.
Increase the service life of the battery.
A slow charge with a low amperage is gentler on the battery of the electric vehicle. This can extend the service life of the battery.

Charge with a low charging current.
Charging is carried out as cheaply as possible using surplus PV current (see PV surplus) and a flexible electricity tariff (see Flexible electricity tariff).
Activating "Next Trip Mode"
Activating "Remain in Eco Mode"
After reaching the set range, the Wattpilot switches from Next Trip Mode to Eco Mode. Charging continues with the Eco Mode settings.
Under "Cost optimisation", the consideration of the electricity tariff (see Flexible electricity tariff) and the use of PV surplus (see PV surplus) can be activated. The settings listed below can also be customised.
Use Lumina Strom / aWattar
Activation or deactivation of flexible electricity tariffs.
Eco Mode price limit
When a flexible electricity tariff is activated in Eco Mode, charging does not start until the set electricity price is below this value. If the electricity price is above this value, charging does not take place.
In Next Trip Mode, it is not this value that is taken into account but the most favourable charging times in the available time period.
Use PV surplus
The Wattpilot uses the surplus PV energy for charging.
Inverter
Selection of a coupled inverter.
PV battery threshold
If a battery is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value can be set here. Below the set value, the battery is charged as a priority. Above this value, the energy of the battery is used to charge the car. The SOC of the battery may still slowly increase.
Ohmpilot threshold
If a Fronius Ohmpilot is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value for the temperature can be set here. Below the set value, the available energy is prioritised for heating. Above this value, the heating power of the Ohmpilot is used to charge the car. The temperature may still slowly increase.
To use the function with an available Fronius Ohmpilot, a temperature sensor must be connected to the Ohmpilot.
PV surplus
In the advanced settings, a start-up power level can be set from which the PV energy is used for charging. Electric vehicles require a certain minimum power in order to charge.
In the case of Zero feed-in, no PV current is fed into the grid. If zero feed-in is activated in the inverter, it must also be activated in the Wattpilot.
Priorities with zero feed-in activated.
If zero feed-in is activated, the prioritisation of system components cannot be guaranteed. PV optimisation control may be restricted.
Deviations may occur when using PV surplus, as electric vehicles are regulated in stages. The following settings can be made under Control response:
Car
With intelligent charging, the charging process can be interrupted or the charging current reduced in order to meet certain charging conditions. Car-specific settings must be specified for smooth smart charging.
The electric vehicle is not listed - select standard charging behaviour.
If the electric vehicle to be charged is not listed, no specific charging behaviour is known. All defaults can be customised.
Select the standard charging behaviour.
The "Charging timer" setting limits charging to specific times. A start and end time must be specified for this. Several time windows can be set. The following can be set:
Verhalten bei aktiviertem Eco Mode or Next Trip Mode:
If charging is not allowed by the charging timer for a certain period of time, Eco Mode and Next Trip Mode are also blocked for this period.
If the charging timer does allow charging in a certain period of time but the settings for Eco Mode or Next Trip Mode are not met, charging will not occur.
Set LED brightness values. By activating "Switch off LEDs after 10 s in standby", the LEDs on the device are switched off after 10 seconds in standby.
Customise LED colours.
Set the time zone. Activating "Automatic summer time changeover" automatically sets the summer and winter time.
In the "Access management" menu, it is possible to set whether charging is started automatically or after confirmation.
Open
The charging process is started automatically after connecting the cables.
Authentication required
Charging will only start after confirming in the app or scanning the supplied ID chip. To scan, hold the ID chip in front of the card reader on the Wattpilot. If authentication is successful, 5 LEDs light up green.
Standard mode
The charging cable at the charging station remains locked after completion of the charging process until the charging cable is disconnected from the vehicle (anti-theft protection).
Auto-unlock
The charging cable is only locked during charging. This allows another user to disconnect the cable when the car is full in order to use the Wattpilot.
Always locked
The cable on the Wattpilot is always locked and can only be removed by changing the mode. This mode is intended for permanently installed systems (e.g. in the carport).
Unlock during power outage
If this function is activated, the charging cable is unlocked in the event of a power failure. By default, the charging cable remains locked in the event of a power failure for reasons of theft protection. To unlock the charging cable, the Wattpilot must be supplied with power again.
Activation or deactivation of the earthing test. It is necessary to deactivate the earthing test in insulated grids in certain countries (e.g. Norway) where earthing cannot be detected.
Up to 10 ID chips can be used. The ID chip is used for authentication and for recording user-specific charging amounts.
One ID chip can be taught in for several Fronius Wattpilots.
The ID chips and the charging amount remain stored in the event of a reset.
The password protects against unauthorised access to the Wattpilot.
