EVCC: Open-Source Smart Charging Controller for Solar-Powered EV Charging

EVCC (Electric Vehicle Charging Controller) is an open-source smart charging software designed to optimize electric vehicle (EV) charging by maximizing the use of solar power. It helps users increase self-consumption of solar energy and reduce grid electricity costs.

Key Features

Solar-Priority Charging – EVCC dynamically adjusts charging power based on solar generation, ensuring the EV primarily uses solar surplus instead of grid electricity.
Intelligent Load Management – It integrates with smart meters, solar inverters, and home energy monitoring systems to balance household power consumption and prevent overload.
Multiple Charging Modes – Supports various charging strategies, including Solar Mode (grid-minimized charging), Scheduled Mode (time-based charging), and Manual Mode for direct user control.
High Compatibility – Works with OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), Modbus, MQTT, and supports multiple brands of solar inverters, smart meters, and EV chargers.
Web-Based Control – Users can monitor and adjust charging settings via an intuitive web UI or API for remote management.

Open-Source & Community Support

EVCC is an open-source project, with its source code available on GitHub (EVCC GitHub). Developers can contribute, customize, and extend its functionality to suit specific energy management needs.

Integrating IAMMETER Meters into EVCC

Thanks to a PR submission by a dedicated community contributor, Daniel, all IAMMETER meters have now been integrated into the EVCC system.

Documentation: IAMMETER@EVCC YAML Configuration: iammeter.yaml

Both IAMMETER and EVCC share the same goal: helping users maximize the efficient use of solar surplus energy. The integration allows users to charge their EVs, power heat pumps, and supply tank boilers using excess solar energy.

Quick Guide to IAMMETER's Solutions

With today's feed-in tariffs significantly lower than electricity prices, the ultimate objective is to minimize solar energy fed into the grid and maximize self-consumption of solar power.
