Build Quality and Design
The GLO keeps the Zappi's body shape and swaps the standard finish for an illuminated logo and LED ring around the charging port. The light changes to show charging status at a glance, so you don't need to open the app or walk up to an LCD screen to check on a session. IP65 covers sustained rain and general outdoor exposure on a UK wall-mounted install.
Solar Charging Modes
Three modes carry over from the rest of the Zappi range. Fast draws from the grid and any available solar together at full 7.4kW. Eco prioritises solar but tops up from the grid to keep a session running. Eco+ charges from surplus solar generation only, pausing when output drops too low. A CT clamp is included for measuring the surplus your panels are generating.
The myenergi Ecosystem
The GLO works alongside myenergi's other products: Eddi, which diverts surplus solar to a hot water tank, and Libbi, myenergi's home battery. If you already run Eddi or plan to add battery storage, the GLO reports into the same myenergi app rather than a separate one.
Tariff Compatibility
Intelligent Octopus Go is supported through the myenergi hub, alongside Octopus Go, Octopus Agile, OVO Charge Anytime, E.ON Drive and British Gas Electric Driver. The GLO sits alongside the Zappi V2.1 in myenergi's current charger range, running the same charging and tariff logic with the illuminated body added on top.
Key Benefits
- Illuminated status ring shows charging state without checking the app
- Same three-mode solar diversion as the rest of the Zappi range
- CT clamp included for solar measurement
- Made in the UK
- OZEV grant eligible
- Works with Eddi and Libbi for a full myenergi setup
Things to Consider
- The untethered variant is currently out of stock, only the tethered 6.5m version is available to order
- Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity runs through the myenergi hub rather than a direct built-in SIM
- IP65 covers standard UK weather but sits below the IP66 rating on chargers like the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro
Verdict
The Zappi GLO suits drivers who want myenergi's solar diversion with a clearer visual check on charging status than the standard range gives you. The three solar modes and included CT clamp carry over unchanged, so the choice comes down to whether the illuminated body is worth it to you at £495.
