Read full description

Your Powerwall makes generic decisions with your money. Grid Getter makes specific ones. Connect in under 5 minutes, set your targets, and let Grid Getter dispatch your battery against your actual rate plan, every 60 seconds. Built by a Powerwall owner who got tired of watching the meter. BEAT DEMAND CHARGES One 30-minute spike can set your entire bill. DemandGuard watches every interval, aligned to your utility's billing window, and covers the peak with your battery. Subscribers averaged $64 in demand savings in August 2026. RULES, NOT MODES The Tesla app gives you modes. Grid Getter gives you rules. Unlimited automations, evaluated every 60 seconds, built from your logic instead of presets. You'll never maintain the script. KEEP YOUR SUNSHINE ON YOUR METER Your solar shouldn't leave at wholesale and come back at retail. Solar Self-Use keeps your generation on your side of the meter, up to 92% self-consumption. CHARGE WHEN IT'S CHEAP. USE WHEN IT'S NOT. TOU Optimizer charges the battery in cheap windows and spends it in expensive ones. Automatically. SEE WHERE EVERY WATT GOES The free live dashboard samples your system every 60 seconds. Start there; your own data will make the case. WORKS WITH Tesla Powerwall 2, Powerwall+, and Powerwall 3. PLANS Free: live energy dashboard, one automation, mobile + web. Scheduled: unlimited automations, Solar Self-Use, TOU Optimizer, 12-hour weather forecast. Adaptive: everything in Scheduled, plus DemandGuard peak-cap automation, a configurable grid-draw target, and full energy data export. Set your goals once. Grid Getter holds the line. NOTES Grid Getter is not affiliated with Tesla. Feature availability can vary based on your system configuration, utility rate plan, and connectivity.
