MyEnergi Zappi & Zappi GLO: The Ultimate Solar-Ready EV Charging Guide
In 2026, home energy is no longer just about panels; it is about an integrated ecosystem where your car, your home, and your solar array "talk" to each other. At Atlantic Renewables, we have seen the Manchester energy landscape transform, and at the heart of that revolution is the MyEnergi Zappi range.
As a MyEnergi Certified Installer, Atlantic Renewables provides the elite technical expertise required to commission these complex, British-made systems. Whether you prefer the classic functionality of the Zappi 2.1 or the sleek, minimalist design of the new Zappi GLO, we are your local authority in the North West.
The MyEnergi Ecosystem: More Than Just a Charger
The Zappi isn't just an EV charger; it is a member of a wider family of "Eco-Smart" products. When installed by Atlantic Renewables, your Zappi can integrate seamlessly with:
- Eddi: A microgeneration energy diverter that uses surplus solar to heat your water.
- Libbi: A modular battery storage system that keeps your solar energy for when the sun goes down.
- Harvi: A clever wireless sensor that allows the Zappi to monitor your energy flow without the need for unsightly wiring.
Zappi 2.1 vs. Zappi GLO: Which is Right for You?
In 2025, MyEnergi expanded its lineup with the Zappi GLO, offering a screenless, app-first alternative to the classic Zappi 2.1.

Key Features for Manchester Homeowners
Three Smart Charging Modes
The Zappi series is famous for its three modes, allowing you to choose how green your drive is:
- ECO: Charges using a mix of grid and solar, maintaining a minimum charge rate.
- ECO+: 100% Green. The Zappi only charges when you have surplus solar energy. If a cloud passes over, it pauses, ensuring you never pay for grid energy.
- FAST: Charges at maximum speed (7kW) using both solar and grid power.
Smart Tariff & Grid Integration
Both chargers feature native integration with dynamic UK tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go. In 2026, the Zappi can also participate in Gridpay, a service that rewards you for shifting your charging away from peak grid times, effectively paying you to support the network.
Tap-to-Charge RFID Security
The Zappi GLO introduces a convenient RFID "Halo." Instead of fiddling with PIN codes or your phone in the rain, simply tap your keycard to start a session. This is perfect for shared driveways or multi-EV households in Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
