Eco+ is one maker’s name for a solar-aware charging mode, not a standard term. How to decode any charger’s eco mode by asking what it does with grid power.

A solar charger cannot see your panels. Its sensor at the meter point reads net flow — export means surplus. Why house loads and home batteries move the number it follows.

A standard grid-tied solar system switches off in an outage by design. Here is why, what the backup exception needs, and what to do with the charge you have.

There is no single winner. Four checks decide it for solar owners: a stated surplus feature, the sensing hardware, the car-side fallback and written confirmation.

The setting exists only where the maker states a solar mode. Confirm the feature, confirm the sensor, then set it in the maker’s app — and use the car-side fallback if not.

Yes, when the car is home in the sun: each solar kilowatt-hour is worth your import price minus the export payment you gave up. Both numbers are on your own tariff.

Yes — a charger is just a large load to a home battery. The real question is coordination: the battery system’s settings decide who gets stored energy first.

A hybrid inverter EV charger combines a solar-and-battery inverter with a charging output in one unit. What the integration buys, what it costs, and what it is not.

There is no universal cheapest hour. Flat, fixed time-of-use, dynamic and solar homes each have a different answer — find your tariff type first.

The charger never reads your tariff. You store the cheap window as a schedule — in the car or the charger — and it holds each session inside it. How the mechanism behaves.
