Charge HQ currently has support for the following GoodWe equipment:

  • Solar inverter: all models except hybrid
  • HomeKit HK1000 energy meter (single phase)
  • HomeKit HK3000 energy meter (three phase)

The following equipment is not currently supported:

  • GM1000 / GM3000 energy meter (details)
  • SEC1000 smart energy controller / meter (single or three phase)
  • Hybrid (battery) inverters

If you have any of the equipment on the unsupported list please contact us and we'll investigate adding support.

Supported Configurations

Charge from gross solar production
EV charging can be matched to gross solar production for all Internet supported Goodwe solar Inverters.

Charge from excess solar production
Where an optional Homekit Smart Meter is installed, underlying energy usage in the home is taken into account allowing charging to match only the excess solar production.

Grid Monitoring Options

If you would like to match your EV charging to excess solar production (rather than gross solar production) you will need a separate meter installed to monitor home energy consumption. For Goodwe inverters, your options include:

Homekit Monitor
Supplied by Goodwe this monitor integrates directly with the Goodwe inverter provides visibility of all of your home energy consumption in the Goodwe app.

Stand alone solar and grid monitoring
A separate solar and grid monitor can be installed to provide Charge HQ with a compatible solar data source.

AC Coupled batteries
Users with a Goodwe solar system that also have a supported AC coupled battery can rely on the battery integration which will include grid monitoring. A separate grid meter for the solar inverter is not required in such cases.
