Up until the recent update of the Charge Anytime (CA) app (Jun 25 v 2.1.16) I've always been able to day charge my ev using solar energy from my panels and CA displays solar charging. Now it seems that CA won't recognise solar charging only and insists on adding/topping up with Boost function from the grid, delivered at the full day rate. The only thing that has changed is the app update for CA - any suggestions?

Hey ​@Mackie ,

Hypervolt have suggested you might want to check the settings are correct in the first instance - make sure all Solar features are enabled properly.

If that doesn’t work out, reach out to them and they’ll dig deeper.

Hypervolt’s contact info can be found here.

 

Download the OVO Charge app from the App Store or Google Play.

Hi ​@Abby_OVO - afraid not. I've checked everything and it still won't work. The only thing that has changed is the CA app update.
