What Is the myenergi zappi GLO?
The zappi GLO is myenergi’s latest smart EV charger, designed and manufactured in the UK. It delivers 7kW single-phase charging through a beautifully minimal, screenless unit that is smaller than a shoebox. Every function is controlled through the myenergi app, giving you complete visibility over your charging sessions, energy usage, and costs from your phone.
What sets the zappi GLO apart from every other EV charger on the market is its ability to charge your car using surplus energy from your solar panels. In Eco and Eco+ modes, the zappi GLO dynamically adjusts its charging rate based on how much solar energy your home is generating versus how much it is consuming. This means you can charge your EV using energy that would otherwise be exported to the grid, dramatically reducing your running costs.
The unit also integrates with smart electricity tariffs and myenergi’s Gridpay program, which rewards you for pausing charging during periods of grid strain. It is a charger that pays attention to the grid, your solar system, and your electricity bill simultaneously.
Key Features
The zappi GLO combines intelligent energy management with a robust, weatherproof design built for Australian conditions.
Solar Integration

Why Choose a myenergi Product Champion Installer?
Not every electrician can install a zappi GLO correctly. The myenergi Product Champion program is a manufacturer-backed accreditation that certifies installers to a higher standard. Here is what that means for you.
Factory-Trained and Certified
Carlin Co has completed the official myenergi installer training program, covering product installation, commissioning, fault diagnosis, and the myenergi ecosystem. We are not just plugging in a charger. We understand the firmware, the energy management logic, and how to configure the system for your specific setup.
Listed on the Official Installer Map
Carlin Co is listed on myenergi’s official Installer Map, meaning myenergi themselves endorse us as a qualified installer in the Melbourne area. Customers searching for an installer through the myenergi website will find us. This listing is only available to installers who have met myenergi’s standards.
Proper Commissioning via Installer Assistant
Every zappi GLO we install is commissioned using the myenergi Installer Assistant app. This ensures your charger is registered, firmware is up to date, CT clamp positions are verified for solar integration, and your user profile is configured before handover. A non-certified installer cannot access this commissioning workflow.
Product Champion Charter
As a Product Champion, Carlin Co has signed the myenergi Product Champion charter, committing to installation quality, customer service standards, and ongoing professional development. We have access to myenergi trade pricing and marketing materials, and we stay current with firmware updates, new features, and product changes.

Every installation starts with a site assessment. We will check your switchboard capacity, cable routing, mounting location, and solar compatibility. Call us on 0432 632 346 or book your assessment online.
Solar-Powered EV Charging
Melbourne homeowners with rooftop solar can use the zappi GLO to charge their electric vehicle using energy that would otherwise be exported to the grid for a fraction of its value. This is where the zappi GLO delivers its greatest return on investment.
Eco Mode
Eco mode uses a combination of solar surplus and grid electricity to maintain a minimum charging rate. When your solar panels are generating more than your home is using, the zappi GLO diverts that surplus to your EV. When generation drops, it tops up from the grid to keep charging. This mode balances speed with cost savings.
Eco+ Mode
Eco+ mode charges exclusively from surplus solar energy. The zappi GLO will only charge your EV when there is enough solar generation to do so without drawing from the grid. On a sunny Melbourne day with a typical 6.6kW solar system, you could add 30 to 40 kilometres of range to your EV using nothing but free solar energy.
Battery Storage Compatibility
The zappi GLO also works alongside home battery systems. The dynamic energy management ensures the charger respects your battery’s charge and discharge priorities, so your home power needs are met first before surplus flows to the EV. We install and configure the CT clamp to monitor your grid import and export in real time.
What to Expect During Installation
A zappi GLO installation from Carlin Co follows a structured process to ensure safety, compliance, and optimal performance from day one.
1
Site Assessment
We inspect your switchboard capacity, assess cable routing options, confirm the mounting location (indoor or outdoor), and check your solar system compatibility. You receive a fixed-price quote with no surprises.
2
Electrical Installation
We install a dedicated 32A circuit from your switchboard to the charger location, mount the zappi GLO on the wall, and connect the CT clamp to your meter board for energy monitoring. All wiring is clipped, labelled, and compliant with AS/NZS 3000.
3
Commissioning and Handover
We commission the charger using the myenergi Installer Assistant app, register the unit, verify solar CT readings, configure your user profile and RFID cards, and walk you through the myenergi app. You leave with a fully working, fully configured smart charger.
Most residential installations are completed in three to four hours. If your switchboard requires an upgrade or a dedicated circuit run is particularly long, we will advise you during the assessment stage so there are no surprises on installation day. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is lodged with Energy Safe Victoria for every installation.
Who Is the zappi GLO For?
The zappi GLO suits a wide range of applications, from single-car households to multi-user commercial settings.
Residential Homes
The primary use case. Homeowners with rooftop solar get the most value, but any home with a dedicated parking space can benefit from 7kW overnight charging and smart tariff scheduling.
Shared Driveways
RFID access control means only authorised users can charge. Each user taps their card to start a session, and usage is tracked per user through the myenergi app.
Rental Properties
Landlords can install a zappi GLO as a property amenity. RFID cards can be issued and revoked as tenants change, and usage can be monitored for cost recovery.
Small Businesses
Offer EV charging as a staff or customer benefit. With 126-user RFID capacity, a single zappi GLO can serve an entire small office or retail location.
Strata Buildings
The compact form factor and RFID access make the zappi GLO a practical option for apartment buildings and townhouse complexes where space and user management are critical.
Solar Homes Upgrading
If you already have solar panels and are switching to an EV, the zappi GLO is the ideal next step. Your existing solar investment starts generating even more value by powering your car.
zappi GLO vs. the Original zappi
The zappi GLO is not a replacement for the original zappi. It is a more compact, streamlined option designed for homeowners who want the same smart charging and solar integration in a simpler, more affordable package.

Installation costs vary depending on the distance from your switchboard to the charger location, whether your switchboard needs an upgrade, and the complexity of the cable route. We provide a fixed-price quote after a site assessment so you know the full cost upfront with no hidden charges. Contact us on 0432 632 346 for a quote.
Does the zappi GLO work with solar panels?
Yes. Solar integration is the zappi GLO’s primary differentiator. Using a CT clamp installed on your meter board, the charger monitors your home’s energy generation and consumption in real time. In Eco mode, it uses a mix of solar and grid power. In Eco+ mode, it charges exclusively from surplus solar. It also works alongside battery storage systems, respecting your battery’s priorities before diverting energy to the EV.
Can I charge my EV for free with the zappi GLO?
In Eco+ mode, yes. If your solar panels are generating more electricity than your home is using, the zappi GLO diverts that surplus directly into your EV at no additional electricity cost. On a good Melbourne solar day, a typical 6.6kW system can deliver 30 to 40 kilometres of EV range from free solar energy. Over a year, this can save hundreds of dollars compared to grid-only charging.
What is a myenergi Product Champion installer?
A myenergi Product Champion is an electrician who has completed myenergi’s official installer training program and signed the Product Champion charter.
