Default XC90 Home Charging Station

Hello,
I have an XC90 T8 plug in. 2021 year.
I now have solar on my house and so want to take advantage of the energy i am generating by putting in a high speed 240v charger at home. I think i need a Level 2 charger with 30amps.
Anyone have any experience with particular charger models for this?
Thanks in advance
Jon

Congrats on your car. Yes, get the Level ll. I have one and have never looked back. If you're in the U S, most municipalities will require a permit. If you have your panel in the garage, you've already saved a lot of labor. Do your research well, the Level ll units come at many price points and I'd advise against getting one of the 'bargain' brands, but you should still get one you like. One feature I'd consider if I do it again would be one with a timer to start the charge being as our cars do not have one.
Darn I like this car soooo much, and I've had a few (see signature below).
