About Ocular

Australian-designed home charging with built-in solar and load control

Ocular is an Australian EV charging brand with home, commercial and DC fast-charging products. Its IQ Home Solar range brings PV-surplus charging, load management and app control together for Australian households.

Ocular focuses on connected home charging designed for Australian conditions, pairing solar-aware charging modes with built-in current transformers for load control. The IQ Home Solar range is offered in single and three-phase formats with tethered or socket options.

  • Solar-aware charging

    Built-in CT clamps measure surplus solar, so the car can charge from excess generation across dedicated solar charging modes.

  • Built-in load management

    Load control keeps charging within your supply limit, which can help avoid a switchboard or supply upgrade.

  • App & OCPP control

    The Ocular app and OCPP support handle scheduling, energy tracking and real-time solar-versus-grid monitoring.

In Sunbridge’s eyes

Australian-owned, solar-aware, sharply priced

Ocular is an Australian EV-charging brand, sold and supported here through EVSE Australia, which has traded since 2016 and launched the Ocular name in 2021 — backing it with local offices, local warranty and installer training. The hardware is built in China but designed around Australian conditions, and the range runs from home wallboxes up to 420 kW DC fast chargers.

  • Solar-surplus charging and dynamic load management run off one built-in CT clamp — often no supply upgrade.
  • Three charging modes (Fast, Solar Assist, Solar Only) for real control over grid-versus-sun.
  • A genuinely Australian-owned brand — local team, local warranty and installer training behind it.
  • Sharp pricing — around $1,399–$1,549 for the IQ Home Solar.
Best suited to

single-phase solar homes chasing solar-surplus charging on a budget — three-phase sites need a big surplus (around 4.6 kW) before Solar Only mode triggers.
