There is additional information that is important to know when using solar integration, specifically regarding timers that dictate the start and stop of the charging process. <br>

If the Solar or ECO+ mode is being utilized and there is a sudden shortage of solar power to charge the electric vehicle, the charger will compensate by drawing charging power from the grid for the following 30 seconds and limiting the maximum current to 6 A until enough solar power is available. If no sufficient solar power is available after 30 seconds, the charger will transition to the "On hold" state and await the availability of additional surplus energy. Once there is sufficient surplus energy, the charger initiates a 2-minute timer during which it verifies the sustained presence of enough solar energy. After the 2-minute interval elapses, the charger proceeds to the charging process. <br>

This mechanism ensures that the charging process is flexible and responsive to variations in solar energy availability. By incorporating timers and checks, the charger optimizes the utilization of solar power while maintaining a reliable and efficient charging experience for electric vehicle owners.
