Like the new features
New features are great give a clear indication of what is happening. Also can you add a feature to add your electricity plan either manually to get a more accurate estimate of costs for those not on dynamic tariffs
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! For custom utility rate plans, you can add them in the Tesla app and Netzero will do the energy costs based on that data. We'll consider adding custom rate plans to Netzero as well.
Best troubleshooting report I've ever seen
I've been using Netzero for many years since it's way more detailed and useful than Tesla's app, but today Netzero's insanely great and helpful troubleshooting report shocked me with its level of detail and clear next steps. I've had my Tesla solar panels and Powerwalls for five years and was surprised by this error (it's my first error), but the below report calmed me since it gave me so much information to give our solar installers.

Better than the Tesla App
This Powerwall application provides me with much more information about my solar energy production and power utilization than the Tesla app provides. It allows me to sort the reporting by day, month, year, billing cycle . I don’t use the Tesla app at all for seeing what’s going on with my Powerwall 3 and my solar panels.

Essential
This app provides a lot of great graphs so that I can monitor the performance of my solar panels and Powerwall. However, the most important feature for me is the automation that prevents my Powerwall from discharging when I plug in my EV. The reduced wear on my Powerwall battery is well worth the app’s purchase price.

Dashboard Updates Inconsistent
The most annoying thing about this App is that the dashboard current usage numbers aren’t immediately reflected in the associated graphs. The graphs always seem to be an update behind. So, when it says I’m currently consuming 0.4kWh, the graph still shows my previous consumption of 2.0kWh. For the dashboard to make sense, the latest graph plot should reflect the actual usage stated. I would give 5 stars, otherwise.

Really useful
Great app and brilliant support by the team. They respond really quickly to any questions and update regularly. If you have a PW and don’t fancy digging in to HA then I would say this is an essential app.
Too expensive
Great app, does what you want it too.
However, for me, and my charging needs, it’s too expensive.
So, I’ve rewired my car charger via a Henley block pre powerwall, and now it doesn’t drain the powerwall into the car, and Octopus can change the charging times as often as they like without bothering me or the PW.
Thanks devs for developing, I sincerely hope you can make it viable for the masses.
(5 starts if the cost becomes affordable).

It does everything I need it to do and more.
This app just keeps getting better and better with every update, it now allows you to export directly from your Powerwall to the grid which also prioritises exporting solar to the grid, so that enables you to keep your Powerwall below 80% and send your maximum export to the grid (which in my case is 5kW) and then any excess charges the Powerwall.
This will stop any clipping of solar production, which is lost energy and money in your pocket.
To do this with the Tesla app you have to rely on their algorithm to do this when it is in saving mode, this rarely happens and you have no control.
Have been using this app for just over a year and I can honestly say that I am not disappointed with the results I am getting.
Everything I need is here to optimise my system and get the best returns from exports and control of how I want my system to work, yes it costs but you get what you pay for and if it was free you would be the product.
Thank you Netzero please keep up the excellent service.
This is the only time I have ever left a review on anything, that how impressed I am.

Thanks for the review!
Tesla control Netzero
Absolutely the bast app on the iPhone
Maintains the battery by setting at level when charging starts and reverts to setting when finished ie 50% on my set up
So no battery drain to charge ev
Is you have a Tesla power wall and and ev charger in my case Myenergi Zappi this is essential app

Great app
This app gives you accurate information about your system
Good app
Good app and works well, however need to add more EV and charger brands. Some of the main brands in UK not included such as Ford and Hypervolt. if net zero manage to integrate charging only from sollar will be golden

Brilliant
Simply an amazing app
This is a great companion for your Tesla, solar and powerwall system

Great app. Complete product to improve the Tesla controller. Fun to use, educational for the user and allows complete control of the system….
User interface is quick to understand delivers complete understanding of the system and total control of the PV…

I use Netzero apple all the time to save the night batteries the easiest and best to use
Easy to use
The app automation has allowed me to take advantage of high sell prices for electricity while avoiding peak charges.

App wiped out my arrays, had to refigure, reinstall!!! Now working great again! It all happened with update w/estimates!!

Great control and management of powerwall
I can’t believe Tesla has not brought this app to integrate into their system. The app allows you to program your powerwall to make the best of savings and self power. It does it all automatically once you have your programs set. Easy to use and allows far greater monitoring of your solar system. I have 3 strings of panels and Netzero allows me to monitor them individually where as the Tesla app only shows a total output. I use both apps to monitor the system but Netzero gives a lot more control and information. Worth the subscription.
