Solar-aware home charging

Charge your EV during likely solar-production periods.

Just In Charge uses a local solar forecast to schedule a compatible OCPP wallbox. Your existing solar inverter and charging hardware can stay in place.

  • Existing AC wallbox
  • No inverter integration
  • Departure time remains the constraint

How forecast-based solar charging works

Add the location and peak output of your solar installation, then choose when the car must be ready. The planner favors intervals with stronger forecast irradiance while still working toward the energy needed by departure.

  • Connect the wallbox through OCPP 1.6J.
  • Set the solar location, peak output and optional panel direction.
  • Review and change the generated charging plan at any time.

What it does not measure

The service does not read your inverter, household load or live grid export. It estimates likely production from weather data, so it cannot guarantee that every scheduled kilowatt-hour comes directly from your panels.

When you can keep the existing equipment

No replacement charger is needed when the wallbox has reliable internet access, supports OCPP 1.6J and lets its owner or installer change the central-system URL.
