Description

Charge HQ reduces your charging costs by charging your EV from your own solar or off-peak energy from the grid, whilst ensuring your vehicle is charged each day. Charge HQ works with the equipment you already have. WORKS WITH EXISTING EQUIPMENT * Tesla owners and all other EVs connected to supported wall chargers can use Charge HQ with no additional equipment. CHARGE FROM YOUR ROOFTOP SOLAR * Charge HQ talks directly to your rooftop solar inverter or home battery to understand how much excess solar is available for EV charging. * Charging is controlled to match the available generation from your solar system. INTELLIGENT GRID TOP-UPS * Where insufficient solar energy exists during the day, Charge HQ can top up from the grid during off-peak periods to ensure you have sufficient charge for your daily driving. BENEFITS * Helps you charge from the cheapest and greenest sources of energy * Improves the payback on rooftop solar systems * Supports the development of more renewable energy generation * Reduces fossil fuel use in EV charging CHARGE STATS * View your charging history (kWh) by day, month or year. * For those with solar, you can view the breakdown of where the charging energy came from: solar, battery or the grid. (*) SUPPORTED EQUIPMENT Current compatibility includes: * Direct EV support: Tesla * Wall Chargers: ABB, Circontrol, Delta, EO, Fronius, Keba, MG ChargeHub, Ocular IQ, Schneider, Wallbox, ZJ Beny and more * Solar Inverters: Fronius, GoodWe, Growatt, SolarEdge, Solax, Solis, Sungrow, Tesla, with more coming * Home Batteries: Tesla Powerwall * Energy Monitors: Solar Analytics, Wattwatchers

  • Perfect Solution for Complex TOU Rates

    This app is perfect for the retires that own a Tesla and are on a TOU utility rate. It allows specific charging times or just prevents you from charging during On Peak hours. Easy to set up and it is an APPROVED TESLA APP.
  • Exactly what I needed

    App solar tracking feature for EV charging is exactly what I was looking for. The app does an excellent job and I couldn’t be happier with it!

    I don’t write very many reviews for the App Store, but this one is so good that I had to say something about it. I’ve been looking for this exact solution for some time, and I stumbled on this after I’d been trying to build my own method. The app is simple, yet works perfectly with the Charge HQ system. After just a few minutes of setting up my grid-tied SolarEdge inverter and Wallbox Pulsar Plus charger, my cars are now being charged using only excess solar energy, lowering my utility bills while charging my cars as quickly as possible while just using the energy that my solar panels produce. Whether your goal is just to use the cheapest way possible to charge your car or to maximize using renewable energy, this will help you do the job.
  • App that manages solar and EV together

    Been waiting for Tesla to do what this app does. Love that I can have the car alter it’s charge rate based on solar energy so I don’t use Powerwall at all when charging.
  • Great app. Simple and effective.

    More people should know about this little gem and more people should rate it. It just works. It does what the manufacturer’s apps should be doing; allowing you to charge only from where you want (excess solar, not battery or grid, for example). You can set maximum charge rates and prioritize battery or EV charging. Love this little app. Allows me to stop thinking about my electricity, keep my car and batteries charged and stay completely off grid with my Solar/Battery system. Basic interface but a solid FIVE STARS from me.
