Tesphase is your home solar command center, see your whole system at a glance, and let it automatically charge your EV with the sunshine you're not using. Most solar owners have no idea how much power they send back to the grid for pennies. Tesphase shows you, live production, home consumption, and the excess available right now then puts that excess to work: it charges your Tesla with free solar instead of expensive grid power, adjusting in real time as the sun moves. Depending on your rates and usage, that can mean $50–$300 a month back in your pocket. ONE DASHBOARD FOR YOUR SOLAR • Live solar production and home consumption • Real-time excess solar available • Daily and monthly energy and dollar savings • Time-of-use rate awareness so you avoid peak-price charging AUTOMATIC SOLAR EV CHARGING • Starts, adjusts, and stops your Tesla's charging to match your excess solar • Pauses during peak utility hours • Full manual override any time WORKS WITH YOUR SYSTEM • Solar: Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla Energy (Solar / Powerwall), Generac PWRcell, and Sunrun (via your underlying inverter) • EV: Tesla Model 3, Y, S, and X (any year supporting the Tesla Fleet API) HOW SETUP WORKS 1. Create a free account 2. Connect your solar (Enphase, SolarEdge, and more) 3. Connect your Tesla 4. Plug in during daylight Tesphase takes it from there PRIVACY Tesphase never sells your data.
