Charge Anytime, Solar and the Indra App
I have the Indra App which works fine and it was linked to the Charge Anytime app until I deliberately deleted it today.
The reason I deleted it was because I wish to use Solar to charge my car. I enabled the solar settings on the Indra app yesterday and for the first time I saw some regular charging activity during the day.
I then read the article “How solar works for Indra customers in the Charge Anytime app”. Its here
The article suggests that I must go further and tell Charge Anytime that I am using solar. If you haven’t, the article suggests, you should delete the Charge Anytime app and re-register.
I have done just that and nowhere in the set up process does the question of solar use come up. As expected I was asked about the Indra charger and having linked to my Indra account that was it. Job done. I seem to be back to where I was before I deleted Charge Anytime earlier today but obviously I have lost historical data.
In the section “Schedule” on the Charge Anytime app there is an informative pop up which says
'If you have solar panels at home, you can charge your car with solar power on Charge Anytime. Simply follow your charger manufacturer's instructions to enable solar charging, and we will make sure your car uses any available solar power to charge your car. Please note that you won't receive any Charge Anytime credits for energy generated from solar. You will still receive Charge Anytime credits for scheduled charging.’
So have I set up Charge Anytime correctly to use with solar? Has the above article been superseded? Is is entirely correct on the subject of selecting solar in the set up process or was this advice intended for those setting up charging by reference to a supported vehicle and not a supported charger?
