Tesla Powerwall Features That Reduce Demand Charges
Most energy platforms are bloated and expensive. Grid Getter focuses on the automations that actually save you money.
Live Dashboard
Real-time view of your grid, solar, and battery. Free tier updates regularly; Premium refreshes faster for tighter control.
Custom Automations
Build your own rules, or let Grid Getter generate them based on your utility plan. First automation is free; Premium unlocks unlimited.
Tesla Powerwall Integration
Direct connection to your Tesla Powerwall for smooth charge/discharge coordination. No additional hardware needed.
Analytics & Weather Forecasting
See your grid, solar, and battery numbers in real time. Solar impact tells you whether clouds or rain will cut your production before peak hours start. Weather data refreshes every 30 minutes.
Utility-Aware Scheduling
Actions sync to your utility’s billing intervals. Grid Getter reads the utility you’ve set in Tesla and creates the right schedule for your rate plan automatically.
Pre-Built Utility Schedules
SRP and APS schedules come ready to go — no manual setup. More utilities are added regularly, so the right billing intervals and peak windows are already in place when you connect.
Anomaly Checks
Get alerted if your Powerwall battery level is lower than expected before peak hours, so you’re never caught off guard.
DemandGuard Flagship
Smart peak-demand protection that caps expensive grid power during peak hours. Your Powerwall fills the gap automatically.

How Is This Different From the Tesla App?
Demand Charge Cap
Tesla's app doesn't enforce demand limits. DemandGuard actively caps grid draw during peak hours.
Custom Automations
Create your own rules beyond Tesla's built-in modes. Full flexibility for your specific utility plan.
Anomaly Detection
Get alerted when battery levels are abnormal before peak hours. Tesla's app doesn't monitor for this.
Don't have demand charges? Grid Getter's free tier and Premium automations work great for time-of-use and flat-rate plans too.
