Your Savings Action Plan

Check off what you want to tackle this month

Pre-cool your home 2–4 PM +$18/mo

Run AC during peak solar hours before 4 PM on-peak pricing kicks in. Your system generates maximum power at this time.

Shift pool pump to 10 AM–2 PM +$12/mo

Your pool pump ran 22% of total load. Moving it to mid-day runs it entirely on solar and avoids on-peak rates.

Charge EV overnight off-peak +$9/mo

EV charging after 9 PM drops to $0.10/kWh vs $0.38 on-peak. Schedule it in your car app or charge timer.

Enable battery discharge 4–9 PM +$6/mo

Battery is at 94%. Configure it to discharge during on-peak hours to eliminate grid draw entirely.

Clean solar panels +3–5% output

Light soiling detected. A quick rinse could recover up to 50 kWh/month at current production levels.

Total monthly opportunity +$45/mo

What Solar Homeowners Are Saying

"I've had solar for 3 years and never knew if it was working right. My Home Energy Report flagged that my system was underperforming. Worth every penny."

— Mark T., Sacramento, CA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Got an alert that my solar output dropped 22% — called my installer and they found a faulty inverter. The report paid for itself many times over in one month."

— Carlos V., Riverside, CA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I'm not a tech person but this report makes sense. I know where my energy comes from, where it goes, and what I saved. $9.99 a month is nothing compared to the clarity it gives me."

— Susan H., San Diego, CA
