Shop Specialist Sungrow EV Chargers
Sungrow built its name on high-quality solar products: first inverters, then solar batteries, and now its range of top-tier EV chargers.
Sungrow is fast becoming one of the most widely installed residential solar brands in Australia. Its AC22E-01 charger is something special: rather than treating EV charging as a bolt-on accessory, Sungrow designed the AC22E-01 to sit naturally alongside a Sungrow inverter or SBR battery. This means if you pair the EV charger with the same branded solar equipment for your home, you’ll get the best of automatic phase management, app-based monitoring, and industrial-grade protection.
For Volteam customers, this means you’ll get a charger backed by a brand with a genuine manufacturing track record in the exact electrical systems it needs to work alongside, not a generic charger badge-engineered onto an unfamiliar platform.
Sungrow chargers are designed and installed to a high standard of engineering.
Who a Sungrow Charger is Best For
Homes on a single-phase supply

Households planning a three-phase upgrade

EV owners pairing solar with charging
Automatic phase switching and load management suit a home running solar, battery, and EV charging together.
Anyone charging outdoors or in a carport
IP65 protection and an optional stand column mount suit a driveway or outdoor carport as well as a garage wall.
about Sungrow Charger
Sungrow Charger Specs (AC22E-01)
The AC22E-01 is built to cover both ends of a typical Brisbane home’s electrical setup from one unit. On a single-phase supply, it charges at 7.4kW, and once a property has three-phase power connected, the same charger can be configured for 11kW or 22kW without a swap, switching phases automatically rather than requiring a manual reconfiguration each time.
Authentication runs through Plug & Play, an RFID card, or the Sungrow app, and OCPP 1.6J support means it can talk to third-party charge management platforms rather than being locked to a single closed system. Load management and balancing help stop the charger from overloading a home’s circuit, and an optional integrated MID meter is available where accurate, billable electricity measurement matters.

Sungrow Charger Review
Sungrow’s move into EV charging leans hard on the same reliability and remote-monitoring standard the brand built its inverter and battery business on, and the AC22E-01 mostly delivers on that promise for a home charger in this price bracket.
- Handles both single-phase and three-phase supply from one physical unit, with automatic switching between them
- OCPP 1.6J support keeps it compatible with third-party charge management and tariff platforms, not just a closed brand app
- IP65 rating and a choice of wall or stand column mounting make outdoor installation genuinely practical
- Built-in 6mA DC fault detection, over-temperature and surge protection, and ground fault monitoring cover the safety basics without extra add-ons
- Plug & Play, RFID, and app authentication give households flexibility over who can start a charge and how
Efficiency
It is the only charger here that switches phases automatically.
Reliability
OCPP support connects it to networks that most AC rivals cannot reach.
Value for Money
Around $950 buys more features than most AC rivals offer.

Sungrow AC22E-01 Pros and Cons
Real strengths and real trade-offs, so you know what you are installing before the quote arrives.
Pros
No need to plan around your electrical supply, the AC22E-01 adapts to it on its own
OCPP 1.6J support keeps it open to third-party charging networks and tariffs
IP65 rating and stand column option suit outdoor and carport installs
RFID, Plug & Play, and app authentication in one unit

Cons

Reaching the full 22kW output needs a three-phase supply already connected to the property
It is an AC charger, so it cannot match the raw charging speed of a DC unit like the Sigenergy DC EV Charger
GoodWe's HCA Series carries a slightly higher IP66 weatherproofing rating for fully exposed sites

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can the Sungrow AC22E-01 be mounted?
The AC22E-01 can be wall-mounted as standard or set up on an optional stand column. It needs a well-ventilated position away from flammable materials and direct sunlight, with the LED status indicator visible and enough room around it for maintenance access. Contact us to talk through the best mounting position for your property.
Can the Sungrow AC22E-01 be installed both indoors and outdoors?
Yes. Its IP65 rating means it is built to handle exposure to dust and water jets, so it suits a garage wall as much as a carport or driveway column, though it should still avoid direct, prolonged rain if it is not under any cover.
What is the power output of the Sungrow AC22E-01?
On a single-phase supply, it charges at 7.4kW. Once three-phase power is connected, the same unit can be configured for 11kW or 22kW, and it switches between phases automatically rather than needing to be swapped out.
Does the Sungrow AC22E-01 work with a home solar and battery system?
Yes. Its load management and balancing features are designed to work alongside a solar and battery setup, and pairing it with a Sungrow inverter or SBR battery keeps the monitoring on one shared platform. Speak to a Volteam electrician about combining an EV charger with solar.
How much does the Sungrow AC22E-01 cost to buy and install?
As a market guide, the AC22E-01 unit sits at approximately $950, with professional installation typically ranging from $500 to $1,200 depending on your switchboard and cabling. Get a free quote from Volteam for an exact, itemised price for your property.
