The setup
Priya and Tom Hale had a 4.2 kWp solar array for three years and were exporting most of it for pennies while charging their car at peak rates.
Kova started moving the car’s charging into sunny afternoons and the cheapest overnight hours, and switched them to a smart EV tariff.
“We had solar for three years and were still exporting most of it. Kova just quietly works.” - Priya Hale
What made the difference
Charging the car from the roof on sunny days and overnight on cheap power took their monthly bill from £180 to £64.
