VIARIS SOLAR 230 V 100A solar management device

The VIARIS SOLAR solar management device, reference OB709800 from Orbis, is an advanced solution designed to optimize the recharging of electric vehicles (EV) or plug-in hybrids in single-phase photovoltaic installations. This device allows for intelligent and efficient management of solar energy, prioritizing the use of renewable sources and ensuring that the vehicle's recharging is done in the most economical and sustainable way possible. With the capability to work in installations with or without grid injection, the VIARIS SOLAR is an ideal option for those looking to maximize the use of solar energy in their homes or businesses.

Applications:

The VIARIS SOLAR is perfect for electric vehicle charging installations connected to photovoltaic generation systems, whether in residences or commercial environments. It is compatible with single-phase installations of up to 100 Amperes, providing a flexible and efficient solution for managing energy from both the electrical grid and solar panels.

Operating modes:

The VIARIS SOLAR allows you to select the type of energy mix that will be used for vehicle charging through three different operating modes:

• Solar Mode: In this mode, the device exclusively uses the energy generated by the solar panels to charge the vehicle. It is the ideal option for those who want a 100% sustainable recharge, without consuming energy from the electrical grid. This option is optimal when solar production is sufficient to cover the entire charging demand of the electric vehicle.

• Hybrid Mode: This mode prioritizes solar energy, but if production is not sufficient to maintain a constant and efficient charge, the system complements solar energy with a minimal amount of energy from the grid. This way, any interruption in the charging process is avoided, ensuring that the vehicle receives the necessary energy without fully depending on the electrical grid.

• Solar/Grid Mode: This mode combines the maximum available power from the electrical grid with the energy generated by solar to achieve the highest possible charging speed. It is the ideal option when there is a need to recharge the vehicle in the shortest time possible, using all available energy from both the grid and the solar panels.

Time scheduling:

One of the most notable features of the VIARIS SOLAR is its ability to schedule up to 6 different time slots between Monday and Friday, and another 6 slots for the weekend. In each of these slots, it is possible to select the desired operating mode (Solar, Hybrid, or Solar/Grid), allowing for total customization of the charging and maximizing energy savings. This level of control is especially useful for adapting to different solar production conditions or electricity rates during the day.

Energy measurement and management:

The VIARIS SOLAR offers bidirectional measurement of generated and consumed energy, providing a detailed view of energy flow. Through its LCD screen, it is possible to visualize real-time data such as active energy (direct and reverse), voltage, current, active power, apparent power, power factor, and frequency. This facilitates precise control over energy use and helps users make informed decisions about managing their photovoltaic installation and electric vehicle consumption.

Technical specifications:

• Single-phase up to 100 Amperes: This model is designed for single-phase installations of up to 100 A, but for higher needs, the SPL-ORBIS Solution is available.
• DIN rail mounting: Its compact and modular design, with a width of a single module, allows for easy installation in any electrical panel without taking up too much space.
• RS485 port and Modbus protocol: The device is equipped with an RS485 port that uses the Modbus protocol, allowing integration with energy management or home automation systems for advanced control.
• Class 1.0 accuracy: The VIARIS SOLAR meter complies with Class 1.0 accuracy standards, ensuring precision in measuring consumed and generated energy.

Remote control and connectivity:

Through the e-VIARIS app, users can remotely manage the operation of the VIARIS SOLAR from their mobile device. The application allows users to view energy consumed from the grid, energy generated or consumed by the solar installation, as well as energy used by the home and electric vehicle. Additionally, it is possible to download consumption histories and easily adjust the device settings, improving control and efficiency of the photovoltaic installation.

Protection and durability:

The VIARIS SOLAR is designed to operate in a temperature range of -30 ºC to 50 ºC, ensuring its reliability even in extreme weather conditions. Its IP54 protection rating shields it from dust and water splashes, while its enclosure is made of high-strength polycarbonate, ensuring durability and impact resistance.

Additional advantages:

• Optimization of the energy mix: Allows for efficient management of solar energy and the electrical grid, maximizing energy savings and contributing to greater sustainability.
• Total photovoltaic compatibility: Works with photovoltaic installations both with and without grid injection, making it a flexible solution for different types of installations.
