Growatt THOR 7kW

Why this charger and power

The Growatt THOR 7 kW EV charger is the go‑to choice for family homes that want reliable overnight charging and maximum use of self‑generated solar energy.

With up to 7 kW AC charging power, it can add roughly 35 km of range per hour and completely recharge a typical 60 kWh battery in around 8–9 hours, fitting perfectly into a full night at home.

Its key advantage over generic wallboxes is the native integration with Growatt inverters and the GroHome ecosystem: the charger can be set to use solar surplus first and only draw from the grid when needed, boosting your self‑consumption rate and cutting electricity bills.

The 7 kW size is also highly versatile, working well with both single‑phase and three‑phase installations and aligning with the contracted power levels of most residential properties.

Specifications and performance

The THOR 7 kW is a smart AC charger delivering up to 32 A on single‑phase supply, equipped with a Type 2 connector compatible with virtually all modern electric vehicles.

It offers IP65 protection for indoor and outdoor use, so it can be mounted in garages, on exterior walls or under carports while keeping dust and water out.

On the safety side, it includes Type A RCD with 6 mA DC leakage detection and comprehensive protection against over‑/undervoltage, overload, short circuit, earth leakage, over‑temperature and lightning events.

Multiple operating modes are available: Fast charging, PV Linkage mode to use only surplus solar power, and Off‑peak mode to charge during cheaper tariff periods.

Control is handled via Growatt’s mobile app and GroHome platform, with scheduling, current adjustment, charging statistics and activation methods such as app control, RFID cards or simple plug & charge.

Is it compatible with my setup?

The Growatt THOR 7 kW is designed to integrate natively with Growatt PV inverters and home solar systems, whether newly installed or existing, so the charger can see real‑time solar production and household consumption.

Thanks to this communication, the system can prioritise surplus‑solar charging: when your PV array generates more than the home is using, the THOR ramps up charging power; if household demand rises or PV output falls, the charger reduces power to avoid unnecessary grid imports.

It works with both single‑phase and three‑phase supplies, and its 7 kW rating fits comfortably within the contracted power limits of most residential connections.

Even if you do not yet have a home battery, the tight integration with the inverter lets you use your car as an additional sink for excess solar energy, moving you closer to 100% renewable driving.

Installation and warranty

The THOR 7 kW comes as a compact wallbox ready for wall or post mounting, with a robust housing and small footprint that make it easy to place in garages and on exterior walls.

It is wired directly to the home distribution board and offers WiFi and LAN connectivity for integration with Growatt’s monitoring and control platform.

Enera Solar carries out installation with experience in PV systems and Growatt inverters, ensuring correct cable sizing, protective devices and initial configuration of the solar‑first charging mode.

As a product from a leading PV manufacturer, the THOR charger is backed by a long‑term warranty and professional technical support. Cloud monitoring also enables remote diagnostics and firmware updates, keeping your wallbox secure and up to date.
