The Wallbox Copper SB offers advanced functions for the home and office in a very compact housing. This Spanish-made charging station is a relatively new player that is causing a lot of controversy with its attractive design and extensive functionality at a competitive price. Now even with a special solar panel stand; charge your car via your own solar power or simply from the grid (Power Boost load balancing meter required)
Pros and cons:
⊕ Free Wallbox app ⊕ Charging from your solar panels ⊕ No smart meter required for Load Balancing ⊗ Only available in black

Wallbox Copper SB with Eco-Smart – charging via your solar panels
Meet Eco-Smart; EV charging with the Wallbox Copper SB via solar panels. An intelligence that makes your Wallbox charger an essential part of any sustainable energy system in the home. Use the green energy generated at home by your solar panels or wind turbines to charge your electric car in the most efficient and sustainable way. There are two available modes for you to choose from; you decide when you go 'fully green' or when you charge with a combination of green energy and energy from the electricity grid. The Eco-Smart feature is included as standard in the Pulsar Plus and Copper SB models.* *Power Boost Energy meter required – order load balancing to receive this meter.
Use the full power of your solar panels
Do you generate more energy than your home consumes? Take advantage of any excess energy from your solar panels by channeling that excess clean energy into your car.
Technical background:This function only works if your solar panels generate at least 4.2 kW (4200 watts) of power (3 phases) at a time that is available for the charger, because an electric car needs at least 6A of power to start charging (Tesla's 5A). Will there be a cloud before the sun and will the power drop below 4.2kW? Then the solar charging stops again. Fortunately, the Wallbox has several settings in the Wallbox App so that you can also continue to charge when there is no sun for a while, because 4.2 kW is a lot of power for a residential solar power installation.
Two positions for more control
With Eco-Smart you can charge with 100% solar energy or with a combination of solar energy and energy from the electricity grid. Set your preferred mode in the myWallbox app and leave the rest to your charger.
Power Boost
We always recommend load balancing these days. Why? We are going to do more electrically at home and in the office now and in the future; heating, cooling, cooking, showering, generating electricity and of course charging. That draws a considerable amount on the available power of your power connection. To ensure that you can use all devices without any worries, load balancing ensures that the car will charge a little more slowly if more power is required elsewhere, for example because the oven and hob are switched on at the same time.
Wallbox calls this Power Boost and this extra module makes solar charging possible in addition to load balancing (without a subscription). A no brainer as far as we're concerned.
All Wallbox Features
Due to the universal socket, the charger can be used for both type 1 and type 2 cars. Copper is available with a maximum power of 22 kW for 3-phase installations.

ChargeMakers takes the time for you as a customer to help you and think along with you. In my case it was about how I can best combine charging my car with electricity that comes from solar panels.
