Pre-Installation Checklist
Before beginning the installation, the installer should:
-
Prompt the homeowner to download the GivEnergy app from the App Store (iOS & Android).
-
If the homeowner is a new GivEnergy customer, prompt them to create a GivEnergy account via the GivEnergy app and follow the new EV charger flow.
-
Discuss and agree the homeowner’s preferences on installation, configuration, and the associated functionality that will be available based on their choices.
-
Agree the charger siting location viability and preference.
-
Check the homeowner’s WiFi signal at the planned EVC location and determine whether WiFi or LAN installation is required.
-
Plan and check wiring runs to the consumer unit, router, and inverter (where appropriate as per the installation configuration).
-
Confirm the grid supply fuse for max current limiting of the charger. This is the main fuse rating of the property. This value is required to commission the charger. The charger is capable of limiting the charge current when the current is near the set limit.
-
Confirm that the homeowner will be present once the system is physically installed, to activate the system via the app and to input the WiFi SSID and password.
