Ohme Home Pro installation with solar and Sigenergy gateway integration
An Ohme Home Pro fitted in Northallerton, on the garage wall beside the home’s solar and Sigenergy system, wired through the Sigenergy gateway so the charger is part of the home’s energy set-up rather than bolted on beside it.
The job
The customer already generated their own power, with solar panels and a Sigenergy system on the garage wall. They wanted a home EV charger that worked with that set-up instead of drawing from the grid as a separate load.
They chose the Ohme Home Pro: a 7kW tethered charger with its own display, and the smart-tariff scheduling Ohme is known for. The garage wall next to the Sigenergy kit was the natural spot, close to where the car is parked and a short cable run from the supply.
Integrating the charger with the Sigenergy gateway
Rather than taking a new circuit straight from the fuse board, the charger is wired through the Sigenergy gateway. That lets the home energy system see and manage the car’s charging alongside the solar generation and the battery, instead of treating it as an unknown load.
The charger has its own isolator next to the gateway, so it can be switched off locally for maintenance without touching the rest of the system. Cabling runs in trunking along the wall, then drops neatly to the charger.
Finished and handed over
The Ohme Home Pro sits at a comfortable height on the blockwork, with the tethered cable stored on its own holster to keep it off the floor. As with every install, the circuit was tested and certified, the DNO was notified, and the Ohme app was set up with the customer before we left.
If you have solar or a home battery and want a charger that works with it, mention it in the quote form. We’ll tell you how it can be wired and price it before you book.
