Fronius Wattpilot: A Dedicated EV Charger With Smart Solar Charging
The Wattpilot is Fronius’s dedicated EV charger, not a bolt-on accessory to its inverter range. It offers three named charging modes: Standard, Eco, and Next Trip. These are linked with an app, so you can manage your EV charging easily from your phone. Fronius chargers are ranked ahead of most home chargers for the smart-tariff and vehicle-to-grid features that are becoming more and more common in Australia.
The Fronius Wattpilot Go version adds genuine portability, complete with a mounting bracket, anti-theft device, and ID chip, something none of the other chargers in our range currently offer.
It can also see what a connected solar system is producing and adjusts in real time, turning spare daytime generation into cheaper, cleaner kilometres instead of exporting it back to the grid at a lower return.
Already running a Fronius inverter at home? The Wattpilot is the natural EV charger to pair with it.

about Fronius Charger
Fronius Charger Specs for the Wattpilot Go 11 J
The Fronius Wattpilot ships in two versions built around the same charging electronics. Home is a fixed wall unit for a permanent garage or driveway installation, while Go is the portable option, supplied with a mounting bracket, an anti-theft device, and an ID chip so it can be unplugged and taken with you. Both versions are available in 11kW and 22kW ratings, and both switch automatically between single-phase and three-phase supply so the same unit adapts to what your switchboard can deliver.

Fronius Wattpilot Review
The Fronius Wattpilot earns its place on a driveway that already runs solar, pairing the charging hardware Fronius has refined across its inverter range with a charger built specifically to track what your panels are producing. A few things become obvious the first week you’re actually charging from it.
- Automatic single or three-phase switching adjusts in real time to match available solar surplus.
- The Solar.wattpilot app carries three distinct modes, Standard, Eco, and Next Trip, rather than one blanket charging setting.
- A compact 287 x 155 x 109mm housing fits tight garage and carport spots other chargers cannot.
- The Go version is genuinely portable, complete with mounting bracket, anti-theft device, and ID chip, not just a wall unit with a long cord.
- Built on OCPP 1.6J with ISO 15118 hardware-readiness, positioning it for smart-tariff and vehicle-to-grid features as they roll out in Australia.

Fronius Wattpilot Features and Benefits
Solar-Matched Charging
Eco mode automatically raises or lowers the charge rate to track your live solar surplus, while Next Trip mode overrides that and tops the car up on grid power if you need it ready by a set time, regardless of sunshine.
- Adjusts charging power in real time as cloud cover or household load changes.
- Next Trip mode guarantees a full charge by a time you set, even overnight.
- Works alongside a Fronius Smart Meter at the feed-in point for accurate surplus readings.
Automatic Phase Switching
The Wattpilot switches seamlessly between single-phase and three-phase supply, charging from as little as 1.38kW up to the full 22kW in fine ampere steps, so a small amount of surplus solar still goes towards the car instead of being wasted.
- Draws only what your panels are exporting during Eco mode.
- Scales up to full three-phase speed automatically once more power is available.
- Reduces the risk of tripping a single-phase circuit on a hot afternoon.
Portable or Permanent
Home mounts fixed to a wall for daily home charging. Go is a portable Type 2 unit supplied with a mounting bracket, an anti-theft device, and an ID chip, so you can install it at home and still take it with you.
- Same charging electronics in both versions, only the mounting differs.
- Go suits renters, tradies, and anyone splitting time between two addresses.
- Included anti-theft device and ID chip protect the unit when it travels.
Smartphone App Control
The Solar.wattpilot app puts the charger in your pocket. Start a session, stop it, switch modes, or check charging history from your phone or tablet without walking out to the garage.
- Remote start and stop from anywhere with a WiFi or mobile connection.
- Live view of charging status and session history.
- Software updates delivered to the charger over the air.
Future-Ready Connectivity
Built on OCPP 1.6J and ISO 15118 hardware-ready standards, the Wattpilot is positioned to support smart-tariff charging and vehicle-to-grid features as Australian energy retailers roll them out.
- OCPP 1.6J compatibility supports third-party smart-charging platforms.
- ISO 15118 hardware-readiness future-proofs the unit against upcoming standards.
- WLAN connectivity keeps the charger synced with the Solar.wattpilot app.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inverters are compatible with the Fronius Wattpilot?
The Wattpilot works most seamlessly with Fronius inverters, including Symo, Primo, Eco, and GEN24 Plus. It can also run with other inverter brands, provided that non-Fronius inverter is paired with a Datamanager Box 2.0 and a Fronius Smart Meter at the feed-in point, though the integration is less direct than with a Fronius inverter.
Can the Fronius Wattpilot charge on solar power alone?
Yes. Eco mode reads your solar surplus in real time and raises or lowers the charge rate to match it, so on a sunny day the car can charge largely, or entirely, on power your panels are already generating.
What is the difference between the Wattpilot Home and Go versions?
Home is a fixed wall unit installed permanently in your garage or driveway. Go is the portable version, supplied with a mounting bracket, an anti-theft device, and an ID chip so it can be unplugged and taken with you between properties or on the road.
Does the Fronius Wattpilot support three-phase charging?
Yes. It switches automatically between single-phase and three-phase supply, charging anywhere from 1.38kW up to 22kW depending on your switchboard and the solar surplus available at the time.
How do I control and monitor my Fronius Wattpilot?
Through the Solar.wattpilot app on your phone or tablet, which lets you start or stop a session, switch between Standard, Eco, and Next Trip modes, and review your charging history.
Control your charging from your phone, wherever you have parked it.
