Love the app - sad to see it go

This app gave incredible levels of control over your charging setup. It also had incredibly detailed support material, that went to great lengths to answer so many questions and edge cases one could run into when setting up the best way to use your solar, battery, to power your home and EV.

I’m sad to see this excellent product disappear. I only hope Amber can live up to what Charge HQ has laid her foundation for.

Work with solis

Thanks

Fantastic

This app became the cornerstone of the charging approach for my EV as it allows for excess solar to be directed towards the car.

One thing I would love to see - a SOC graph alongside the generation graphs.

This would help LFP owners such as myself, who only charge to 100% every X number of days (LFP, like other battery types, doesn’t like being at 100%, especially when it’s hot), to see when our last full charge was.

Hopefully the app remains supported since being purchased by Amber.

Troubleshooting problems

App works great. Incredibly helpful organizing my solar, vehicle, and battery charging. And the app authors are experts. They care about customers and ensure success with the app.

always charge price should be combined with schedule charging

please add this feature

Just what I was looking for

I was trying to get charge on solar from a Tesla working, only to finally realize it doesn’t work on my car

This app does exactly what I hoped Tesla would provide

I charge my car during the day on excess solar. And at night, I can book a grid base charge to ensure the car reaches a minimum charge state

I live in California, under net metering 3.0, which means I get virtually no credit for selling electricity back to the grid. Therefore, using this app to capture access, solar energy is just what I wanted.

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.

OK with one vehicle, terrible with two

The App almost worked as advertised with one Tesla, but doesn’t cope at all now that I’ve got two.
Great concept but needs a heap of work:

Extrêmement utile

Application très utile pour la charge d’une tesla. Il faut une supervision de votre installation : par exemple fronius smartmeter + data manager. L’appli vous permet de déclencher la charge dès qu’il y a une surproduction de votre installation solaire et de régler la puissance de charge. L’autoconsommation est donc optimisée.

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.

อยากให้ app ทำให้ใช้กับ inverter ของ huawei ได้เลย ผมใส่ api เองไม่เป็น

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!

Charge la nuit et le jour avec l’excès de production

Convient parfaitement à mon installation fronius + tesla. Mes réglages en automatique : charge la nuit à 60% à 9A puis le jour à 90% en ajustement auto avec max de 12A (à changer selon les envies) Globalement en charge de jour on est entre 80% et 99% d’énergie solaire, le reste du réseau pour les nuages qui passent. Si sur 1 mois vous êtes à 100kwh en énergie solaire les 5€ demandés sont rentables (considération HC / revente). À voir en hiver.

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.
