Become Energy Independent With Solar Charging

NeoCharge automatically schedules your EV charging to match your solar panel's energy production. Maximize your solar investment and minimize grid dependency with intelligent charging that follows the sun.

Users in California can expect to save THOUSANDS on their utility bill each year

Real Solar Charging Savings

See how NeoCharge users are saving thousands by charging their EVs with their home's solar panel instead of buying from the grid.

California's NEM 3.0 was implemented in April 2023 and dramatically changed the economics of solar. While NEM 2.0 and many other utilities offer 1:1 net metering (you get credited the same rate you pay), NEM 3.0 slashes your solar export value by 75% or more.
NEM 2.0 and Traditional Utilities
1:1
Sell excess solar at the same rate you buy
Full retail rate credit
NEM 3.0 (California)
~$0.05/kWh
Sell excess solar at wholesale rate
75% less than wholesale rate

How Solar EV Charging Works

NeoCharge connects your solar inverter with your EV’s charging schedule through our app. Using real-time data and weather forecasts, we predict when your solar panels will generate the most energy and automatically schedule your car to charge during those peak production periods.

This means the energy flowing into your car comes directly from your solar panels, not from the grid – saving you from paying retail electricity rates.

Under NEM 3.0: Instead of selling your excess solar for just $0.05/kWh, you’re using it to offset $0.35+/kWh grid purchases - that’s 7x (or more) value increase!

Linda

I was previously using a mix of TeslaFi and NeoCharge to track my EV charging, but with the recent improvements to the NeoCharge app, including SRP rate plan support, I'm now using NeoCharge exclusively for this info. Please keep the improvements coming to this great product!

NeoCharge Solar Charging FAQ

The NeoCharge App is completely free to use with your EV!

We're committed to enabling the transition to cleaner and more affordable EV charging at home. By offering our core app features at no cost, we aim to make smart, efficient charging accessible to all electric vehicle owners.

For users with solar panels, we now offer an optional solar subscription that unlocks advanced solar optimization features to maximize your clean energy usage and savings.

Download the NeoCharge App today and start optimizing your EV charging experience without any additional expense or hardware. Upgrade to our solar subscription anytime to take full advantage of your solar installation.

Savings depend on your utility rates and charging habits, but most users on time-of-use rates save $197-$573 annually by charging during off-peak hours when electricity rates are 40-70% cheaper. For example, if you drive 12,000 miles per year and pay $0.30/kWh during peak hours vs $0.10/kWh off-peak, you could save over $600 per year. Users with solar systems often see even higher savings by maximizing self-consumption of their solar energy.

Absolutely. At NeoCharge, your security and privacy are our highest priority. We've designed our app with robust safeguards to ensure your data is 100% safe.

Here's how we protect you:

  • Zero Credential Storage: NeoCharge never stores your login information on our servers. Your credentials remain solely in your possession, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • End-to-End Encryption: All communication between your device and our servers is protected with state-of-the-art encryption. This means your data remains private and secure at every step.
  • Secure Token Authentication: When you link your manufacturer's account, we use an encrypted authorization token for device communication. This token, not your actual login details, enables seamless and secure access to your device.

By implementing these measures, NeoCharge ensures that your data is not just secure, but 100% safe. We provide you with the convenience of smart charging while maintaining the highest standards of data protection.

No, the NeoCharge App is designed to minimize impact on the wake time of your vehicle's which helps your 12V battery. We use efficient communication protocols and throttling that only wake your car when necessary for scheduled charging or status updates. Most modern EVs are built to handle these brief interactions without any noticeable impact on battery life.

Even without time-of-use rates, the NeoCharge App still provides value by tracking your exact charging costs, managing charging schedules, helping you use cleaner energy, and preparing you for future rate changes. Many utilities are moving toward time-of-use pricing, and you'll be ready to maximize savings when they do. Plus, you'll still benefit from solar optimization and detailed energy insights.

By shifting your charging to off-peak hours, you're using electricity when renewable sources like wind and solar are more prevalent on the grid. This reduces reliance on fossil fuel "peaker" plants that typically run during high-demand periods. Our users collectively avoid thousands of tons of CO2 emissions annually while saving money.

The NeoCharge App currently works in both the United States and Canada, supporting 90+% of EVs and utility rate structures in North America.
