Fantasy solar charging integration
I was struggling to work out charging during excess solar generation, and these folks did it, and did it very well. Kudos for a great program.
No solar? No worries!
Guys, even if you don’t have solar or battery, this app is FANTASTIC at making sure you’re charging when it’s cheap. All you need to do is set up your power providers API details in the app (super easy to do), set a few preferences & you’re off any running. Very happy 😃
Brilliant
I was lucky enough to be referred to this app while it was still free, but it’s so good I’m going to go subscription to support the team behind this. I hope Tesla doesn’t buy them as they’ll screw it up for sure. I found it a bit tricky to set up, but after leaving out some of the options, it did it’s thing like a charm. Can’t believe the Tesla guys with their ludicrous 1/2 gigabyte app can’t offer even part of it’s functionality. Even just the power source tracking makes it so useful, then you’ve got the automatic solar tracking so you don’t have to keep juggling charging rates to make best use of excess solar. Just to clarify, we’ve got a powerwall and a model 3 with the Tesla power router and the Tesla app still doesn’t do half of Charge HQ’s stuff.

Essential app for EV drivers
This app is fantastic for EV owners with a modern solar system. The app reads the output from your solar inverter and then allows you to use only solar to charge your EV. Seamless and brilliant.
Looks like a great app
Calculated the expected savings using chargeHQ to direct solar energy to my EV. The yearly subscription cost consumes 50% of my savings leaving me with $50 savings per year vs not using their app. Not a great savings and this assuming I can absorb all the excess energy into the car battery.
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.
Game Changer
This is a must have for anyone who wants to gain full control of charging! It works seamlessly with solar edge PV and Tesla model 3.
Super smart set and forget solar EV charger
It was a great relief when Charge HQ came along!
Prior to that I’d been monitoring solar production and starting and stopping charging manually.
The app has loads of features catering for all EV usage scenarios and charging requirements.
I don’t have a home battery yet but Charge HQ even supports that as well.
Highly recommended!

Up and running in 10 mins
I am very impressed with Charge HQ. I have an existing solar system and bought OCPP compliant ZJ Beny charger. The guidance on ChargeHQ's website was perfect and I was up and running in 10 mins.
The app interface is very well considered. A good amount of detail and control. My car is now charging only when solar is available, or if I override it and tel it to charge anyway. Great app.
Look forward to control of other devices one day?

Great product
Love it.
Bit of mucking around setting it up as we have two teslas and two fronius inverters on two separate phases. No reflection on the product. Just not a typical house.
I ended up setting up two charge HQ accounts, one for each car. Saw the Amber link and set that up too. Works great. Much cheaper. Hasn’t missed a beat.
I set the “always charge” price to 10c/kwh plus solar excess charging. It just works and makes charging the cars a seamless and low cost activity.
Very impressive product. Nice work.
