Solar-aware EV charging control

Glint

Charge your EV from the watts your home is already making. GlintEV watches solar production, home buffers, vehicle limits, and charger controls so charging can follow the day instead of fighting it.

What it does

A controller between your solar, your home, and your EV.

GlintEV is built for homes where charging should be responsive: use more current when production is high, pull back when the house needs power, and pause safely when solar data goes stale.

S

Solar surplus charging

Local inverter readings are posted securely, then the controller calculates available charging amps from PV watts, house buffer, voltage, and amp steps.

E

EV and EVSE control

Use the vehicle API where supported, or control a smart charger/EVSE when that is the better path for predictable charging behavior.

F

Fixed charging without solar

Homes without solar can still set charge caps, schedules, and fallback policies for calmer overnight or utility-aware charging.

How it works

Small local agent. Central policy. Controlled charging.

1

Read local energy

A small local script polls an inverter or meter that only exists on the home network.

2

Post fresh watts

Only fresh production readings are uploaded with a site key and secret.

3

Apply policy

GlintEV checks house buffer, min/max amps, stale data windows, and charge mode.

4

Adjust charging

The controller sends a vehicle or charger command and records what it did.

Prototype-ready

Start with one home, then grow into accounts, sites, vehicles, and chargers.

The data model supports multiple users, sites, optional solar sources, multiple vehicles, provider accounts, and different control targets. That keeps today’s Rivian/Fronius prototype aligned with the service you want to offer later.
