Setting up your rate plan

Tell SolDial your zip and pick your plan from a dropdown — it handles the rest.

50,000+ rate plans, one tap

SolDial pulls from the U.S. Department of Energy's OpenEI Utility Rate Database (URDB) — over 50,000 utility rate plans — to load your utility and plan, including your time-of-use windows and pricing.

Time-of-use, done right

SolDial reads TOU schedules down to weekday vs. weekend and seasonal differences — not just one window applied to every day. That precision is what lets Autopilot schedule charging into exactly the right cheap window. See Net metering for the export side.

Simple or detailed

On a flat rate, enter a single price. On TOU, prefill from the database or define your own windows. You can also add EV charging credits your utility offers.

Critical Peak Pricing

If your plan has Critical Peak Pricing event days, you can enter the critical-peak rate and flag event dates so those hours price correctly — see Critical Peak Pricing. SolDial also warns you if a custom time-of-use schedule leaves a gap or an overlap.
