What do you see on the display?

Every 5 minutes SOLAR STATION downloads the latest data from manufacturers’ clouds, checks them and composes a clear “dashboard” of your home energy flows. No endless clicking – everything you would otherwise search for in four different apps is on one screen.

How long does one charge last?

In normal operation, SOLAR STATION spends most of its time “asleep” – it only wakes every 5 minutes, downloads data from the cloud, refreshes the display and goes back to sleep. This way it lasts roughly 6–12 weeks on a single charge, depending on the number of active tiles and functions.

The device is powered by a LiPo battery (2500 mAh, 3.7 V) charged via USB-C. A full charge takes a few hours (the cable is not included – we assume you already have one at home).

SOLAR STATION can also be powered permanently via cable. In that case it’s usually better to place it on a stand or shelf than to stick it permanently to the wall.

Which languages are supported?

The configuration interface is in English because it matches the terminology used in manufacturers’ cloud portals. The display itself, however, supports Czech, English, German and Polish – especially for calendar elements and basic labels.

Most of the screen is taken up by values, icons and graphs, which makes SOLAR STATION “language-light” and easy to understand for the whole family.

In the tile you can see:

• the current electricity price,
• an overview of the cheapest and most expensive hours of the day,
• a chart of price development throughout the day.

In advanced settings you can include VAT and other fees using a simple offset + multiplier model so that the price displayed on the screen matches your real tariff (peak/off-peak).

The same data are then used by SOLAR STATION for automation:

• switching SOLAR PLUG only in the N cheapest hours of the day,
• switching based on price being below a set limit,
• controlling batteries and exports (charging in cheap hours, discharging or selling in expensive hours).

This lets you use SOLAR PLUG and the EcoVolter wallbox not only based on sunshine, but also on how the electricity market behaves.

SOLAR PLUG are smart sockets that SOLAR STATION automatically discovers and pairs with. After plugging the socket into the mains and briefly pressing the RESET button on the station, the socket appears as a new load tile within about a minute.

The station monitors the energy balance of your home and, based on internal rules, switches sockets on and off so that PV energy is used as much as possible and feed-in to the grid is minimised. Typical loads are a boiler, air-conditioning, dryer, pool heating or other “shiftable” appliances.

• rules are evaluated every 5 minutes,
• you can switch based on excess power, PV output or battery state of charge,
• or based on spot prices – only during the cheapest hours of the day or below a price limit,
• when switched on manually with the button, the socket goes into manual mode; after switching off it returns to automation.

The internal logic takes into account a minimum ON time (several minutes) so that sockets don’t “chatter” around threshold power levels. This keeps behaviour stable while still reacting to weather and consumption changes.

The portable wallbox EcoVolter Pro (1st and 2nd generation) is fully compatible with SOLAR STATION. The station can show it as a separate tile with a charging cable and work with the current charging power values.

The first generation EcoVolter connects via an API key from iXManager and the wallbox serial number. For the second generation it is enough that both the wallbox and SOLAR STATION are on the same Wi-Fi and you enter the serial number in the format REVC… – the station will find the wallbox automatically.

Control of the wallbox is not a “black box”, but a set of clearly defined rules evaluated every 5 minutes – similar to SOLAR PLUG. You can for example:

• start charging only after reaching a certain battery SOC,
• charge when excess power exceeds a set threshold,
• charge when PV production is high enough,
• charge only in the N cheapest hours of the day based on spot prices,
• charge if the price is below a set limit.

SOLAR STATION continuously adjusts charging power according to whether the chosen rules are met – if there is “room”, it gradually increases the power, if energy becomes scarce, it decreases it, and in the extreme case it stops charging completely. Everything is transparent and predictable, without hidden algorithms.

This means you don’t charge your EV “whenever”, but at moments that make the most sense both energetically and economically – either from your roof, or in the cheapest spot price windows.

“Finally something even my wife understands.”

I used to track my PV only in the manufacturer’s app, but this is a whole different level. In the morning I just look at the wall and instantly see how we’re doing with production, battery state and whether it makes sense to run the washing machine.

Perfect overview in one place

We have PV, a battery, a heat pump and an EV. SOLAR STATION ties it all together and shows it on one screen. I also love the e-ink – it doesn’t glare, but is super readable even in sunlight.

Ideal for the utility room wall

I used to keep logging into various portals, now I just open the utility room door and see how much we’re producing and whether anything is flowing into the grid. Setup is easy even for non-IT people. Only downside – my wife now wants a second one in the kitchen.

What are the dimensions?

152 × 121 × 14 mm (5.83″)

196 × 131 × 14 mm (7.5″)

248 × 177 × 14 mm (10″)

Which variant should I choose?

The smaller model is perfect for a shelf or desk; the larger versions are ideal for the wall – easy to read from a distance in a utility room or living area.
