SolarEdge debuts solar-powered EV charging solution
SolarEdge, a global specialist in smart energy technology, has launched a solar-powered EV charging solution for businesses.
One of the first beta customers reported a reduction in EV charging costs of some 70%
Available now, the solution includes a new EV charger for businesses, powered and controlled by an energy management system introduced following the acquisition of Wevo Energy last year.
The new EV charging solution joins the SolarEdge C&I ecosystem for commercial-scale solar and storage solutions. Businesses with SolarEdge’s solar systems can now charge their EV fleet with ‘power-optimised’ solar energy to further reduce their energy bills.
The EV charging solution combines customer-specific EV charging schedules and solar generation patterns with real-time grid electricity prices to autonomously calculate the most economical energy source to charge EV fleets – whether that’s with solar, battery or grid.. By dynamically boosting or throttling EV charging based on real-time energy loads, the new solution is also designed to allow scaling up to 20x more chargers on existing infrastructure, while ensuring the building’s energy load is not exceeded.
It also enables ‘tiered charging modes’, allowing priority users – such as sales reps who need their car throughout the day – to access grid power if needed, while other non-priority vehicles are set to charge only when solar is available.

The SolarEdge ONE EV Charger is now available for commercial applications and is expected to be available for residential applications in Q3 2025.
Featuring a new sleek, compact design, it will be suitable for both single-phase and three-phase modes with automatic switching built-in, and is designed for fast, simple installation in just a few minutes. The EV charger is also supported by ‘Olivia’, a newly released AI phone support agent purpose-built for EV charging and providing 24/7 assistance to drivers.
Teddy Flatau, CEO and co-founder of Wevo Energy, part of SolarEdge, said: “As early results clearly demonstrate, this solution doesn’t just lower charging costs – it makes EV infrastructure smarter, more scalable and more sustainable. It’s a clear example of how software-driven optimisation can accelerate the transition to clean transportation at scale.”
