Note: The devices and remote stations listed here have been tested with the software version of the respective manufacturer specified in the tables in simple charging processes and simple basic functions. We do not guarantee that the manufacturer will change the functionality through a software update or model update in such a way that the interoperability with the cFos Charging Manager or cFos Power Brain is no longer given. You can ask the respective manufacturer whether the functionality still corresponds to the status indicated in our table.
You must check whether the cFos Charging Manager is compatible with the remote stations by testing your specific use case. To do this, you can download the free test version of the cFos Charging Manager for Windows or Raspberry Pi and test for yourself whether the respective device or the OCPP backend is compatible.
| Inverter | Software status |
| Inverters can also be integrated as generation meters. Many inverters support SunSpec, i.e. you can use SunSpec Solar Inverter / Meter as the meter type. This also applies to the grid reference meters / smart meters installed in solar systems. Here is a selection of devices tested by our customers. Similar devices will probably also work. Note: Fronius, Kostal and SMA have very good SunSpec support. This means that if the manufacturer specifies SunSpec for the model of inverter, smart meter or battery storage system, it should work well with the cFos Charging Manager. Please report successfully tested devices to us and we will add them to the list here. | |
