Fronius Wattpilot Home 22 J
As a PV system owner, you'll already be aware of the environmental and economic advantages of generating your own energy. As the owner of an electric car, you can significantly increase your potential savings with the Fronius Wattpilot. This electric car charger can switch between 1 and 3-phase automatically and regulate its output in 1 ampere steps. This allows it to make optimal use of the surplus PV energy from 1.38 kW to 22 kW and use any surplus energy from your PV system to sustainably charge your vehicle at virtually no cost.
Easy Plug & Play Using the Fronius Wattpilot is easy – just plug it in and start charging.
Smart Charging As a PV system owner, you can trust Fronius for intelligent charging. The Fronius Wattpilot utilises your surplus solar energy whenever available or seamlessly switches to mains power when needed. This ensures a smooth charging process while efficiently powering your entire household.
User-Friendly Control Experience convenience at your fingertips with the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app. Easily control both versions of the Fronius Wattpilot through a simple button on the device or your smartphone/tablet. Customize settings to match your personal preferences securely.
Secure and Managed Access With the Fronius Wattpilot, you can create up to 10 user profiles, and access is secured through RFID chips or cards, safeguarding against unauthorized use, even in public spaces. This feature also offers detailed tracking of charging data for each user.
Seamless Integration Attention to all PV system owners! The Fronius Wattpilot seamlessly integrates into the Fronius Solar.web app, providing real-time visibility into your entire PV system’s components and empowering you to efficiently control your self-generated solar energy.
Versatile Compatibility No matter which electric car you drive, the Fronius Wattpilot is your ideal choice. This Fronius charging solution is compatible with all car makes and remains ready for use even if you decide to switch to a different vehicle.
The Fronius Wattpilot offers two charging modes which can be selected directly on the electric car charger or via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app:
Eco mode
The preferred mode for PV system owners. It ensures that the vehicle is charged – if available – with self-generated solar power or the cheapest mains current.
Next trip mode
Next Trip Mode is for those who want to reliably charge their electric car to cover a specific journey – a certain number of kilometres – by a specific time. The Fronius Wattpilot reliably and intelligently charges the required amount. If available, surplus PV power from your own PV system is used or the cheapest mains current.
The Fronius Wattpilot can be integrated into Solar.web with ease and enables an overview of all energy usage.

What are the Status Error Codes and Remedy for my Fronius Wattpilot EV Charger?
Status codes and remedy on Fronius Wattpilot EV Charger
Due to phase, voltage and switching function checks of the Fronius Wattpilot, a charging operation may be rejected.
The status codes are displayed via the LED status indicator (see LED status indicator on page 17) directly on the Wattpilot and in the app under "Status".
Status Codes
Issue Cause Remedy 1
Fault current detected (LEDs light up pink, the LEDs at the top flash red)
The residual current device has detected an error. The charging equipment in the vehicle may be defective. Have the charging equipment checked by a specialist. Disconnect and reconnect the charging cable. 3
At least one phase of the power supply is missing (the LEDs light up blue, the LEDs at the top flash red)
The device is only being supplied with 2 phases. Make sure that phase 2 and phase 3 are connected correctly. Option: a supply via phase 1 only is possible. 8
Grounding fault detected (the LEDs light up green and yellow, the LEDs at the top flash red)
Grounding fault detected. Check that the connection is properly grounded. 10
Relay fault detected
The relay has not switched. Disconnect the power supply to the device for 5 seconds. 11
Backup power mode detected
53 Hz mains current detected. Observe the instructions in the Operating Instructions. 12
Type 2 plug locking failed
The plug locking system does not work. Remove possible foreign parts in the plug housing. Type 2 plug not fully inserted. Insert the type 2 plug into the device as far as it will go until you hear a click. 13
Type 2 plug unlocking failed
The electric vehicle is plugged in. Unplug the electric vehicle. "Always locked" under "Cable release" in the Solar.wattpilot app is activated. Deactivate "Always locked" under "Cable release" in the Solar.wattpilot app. Release jammed. Insert the type 2 plug into the device as far as it will go until you hear a click. If the problem has still not been fixed: Press the push button on the device.

The Fronius Wattpilot Home J 22 version is the charger fitted for use at home. The Home version is a charging station for charging electric vehicles (EVs) for a fixed connection to either an AC single phase or AC three phase connection. This version is not designed for portable applications, for this application please select the Fronius Wattpilot "Go" version which enables you to take your Wattpilot and use at different sites.
1 Plug 'n' Drive
The Fronius Wattpilot is child's play to use – simply plug it in and charge.
2 Intelligent charging
As a PV system owner, you can rely on Fronius: The Fronius Wattpilot charges your electric car with your own surplus energy – where available – or draws upon mains current. This prevents load peaks while reliably supplying the entire household.
3 Operating convenience
Convenient control via a button on the Wattpilot or via smartphone/ tablet: The Fronius Solar.wattpilot app allows you to securely use both versions of the Fronius Wattpilot and adjust them to suit your own personal needs.
4 Security & control
You can create up to 10 user profiles per Fronius Wattpilot. Access to the Fronius Wattpilot can be secured via RFID chip or card and protects it against misuse, including in public spaces. The use of chip or card also enables detailed itemisation of all charging data for each user.
5 Full integration
Attention PV system owners! The Fronius Wattpilot can be seamlessly integrated in the Fronius Solar.web app. This gives you an insight into all the components of your PV system at any time and allows you to control the use of all your self-generated
solar energy.
6 Complete flexibility
No matter what electric car you drive, the Fronius Wattpilot is the perfect choice. This Fronius charging solution is compatible with all makes of car and remains fully ready for use if you change your car.
Functions
The Wattpilot can be used like any other charging station. For start-up, the charging cable must be plugged in and the Wattpilot starts charging. By pressing the pushbutton it is possible to switch between the charging modes and change the level of charging current.
Phase changeover
The Fronius Wattpilot can automatically switch between 1‑phase and 3‑phase charging. The automatic phase changeover enables charging with a low start-up power (1‑phase with 1.38 kWh) in the case of a PV surplus. In addition, 1‑phase charging has the advantage that the charging power can be regulated in smaller increments (0.23 kW) and a small PV surplus can be used more efficiently. As 1‑phase charging is limited by the car, it makes sense to switch to 3‑phase charging at a higher PV surplus. This allows higher maximum charging outputs to be achieved.
The phase changeover can be set automatically or manually.
