Great app works as expected
This app will save you money. We had some dramas when we had to get a new inverter after our old one had issues under warranty. It didn’t work initially with the new inverter which time we reached out to the devs and they fixed the issue. Great product and service.
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!
Excellent
Just works brilliantly with my Model 3 and Powerwall. Installed easily and pulled config details from Tesla. Now has taken over management of charging of both the car and Powerwall, automatically charging car with just the excess solar. I have also prioritised the Powerwall so it always charges first. If there’s not enough solar then the car will charge in the cheap rate overnight window if the charge level is below 40%.

Outstanding
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.
Amazing app
Spent over 30 hrs programming this functionality using home assistant which does the job but rather temperamental and not as accurate. This app just works. 5 minute setup and away you go. Well done to the developers.
Does one thing, does it well.
Such a great app - does exactly what it says on the tin. Thank you Charge HQ, keep up the good work. Will pay to keep you in business.
Must have if you have a EV and care about renewable energy!!
This app is a charging game changer if you have a Tesla and compatible inverter. Set it to fully charge 100% from excess solar or choose the amount of renewable energy you want to use from the grid. (Or a combination of both)
Set and forget and let it do its work. But it’s also fun app to tweak to get optimal charging from renewable energy.

Better than Zappi
18 months ago I bought a full MyEnergi Zappi system. I sold it after a couple of weeks because the 3 phase version needed manual changeovers when clouds went over. Then my Xmas present was finding the Charge HQ app. It connected to my Fronius and Tesla hardware in less than 15 minutes when I was fearing it would be an afternoons work.
Even though this is a Beta system it works flawlessly. I love the no cost at the moment but they state they will be cost competitive when the time for subscription comes.
I love this app and the developers.

Great app
Does exactly what it promises, so charging matches solar production. Accuracy depends a bit on your setup and how often it reports in. Enphase Envoy only reports every 15 minutes, so there was a bit of a lag, particularly on days with intermittent cloud. Tesla powerwall reports every minute, so with that installed, accuracy has increased.
