Your Report
Your report is Grid Getter’s measurement of your last 30 days of battery data: what you paid, what a better-run battery would have cost you, and the gap between the two. It’s the same measurement behind Your Plan during onboarding, and you can come back to it any time at app.gridgetter.com/reveal.
Getting there
Section titled “Getting there”Most people see their report during onboarding, right after connecting Tesla, as part of Your Plan. If you picked Just looking instead of naming a concern, onboarding skips the report entirely, but Grid Getter keeps measuring your battery in the background. Once there’s enough history, you may find your way back to the report through one of these:
- A banner on the Live Dashboard, once your data shows something worth pointing at. See Live Dashboard: the just-looking banner.
- A “Your report is ready” notification, sent by push, in-app, and email, if that first measurement takes a little longer than usual. See Notifications: your report is ready.
Either one takes you straight to the report. Neither is guaranteed: if your first measurement finishes quickly with no history yet on file, no banner and no notification follow it.
What it measures
Section titled “What it measures”The report answers whichever question routed you there: your demand charge, your time-of-use rates, or the solar you export and buy back. Whichever one it is, it comes down to three figures: what the last 30 days cost you, what they would have cost with the battery run differently, and the gap between the two. See What each answer produces for what each question actually measures and Your Plan for how the chart, the dollars-versus-kilowatts split, and the automations preview work.
While it’s still working
Section titled “While it’s still working”Reading 30 days of battery history from Tesla sometimes takes longer than expected. If your report isn’t ready yet, the page says so directly instead of showing an empty chart or a spinner, and Grid Getter keeps retrying in the background, usually inside ten minutes.
If Tesla’s history service still hasn’t answered after six hours, Grid Getter stops retrying rather than leaving the report hanging indefinitely, and emails you instead: We could not read your battery history. That email is straightforward about what happened: nothing is wrong with your Powerwall, and live monitoring on the dashboard is unaffected.
No history yet
Section titled “No history yet”If Grid Getter hasn’t collected any battery data for the site, the report page points you back to live monitoring instead of showing an empty page. It appears on its own once there’s enough history to measure.
The second report
Section titled “The second report”Once your site has a week of fresh data behind it, Grid Getter checks in again with a follow-up at app.gridgetter.com/reveal/results, sent the same way the first one was: push, in-app, and email. That is usually about a week after your first report, and it can take up to three if there isn’t enough to measure yet.
What it shows depends on whether you’re on a paid plan:
- On a paid plan, it’s a before-and-after: the last seven days measured against the same thirty-day window your first report was built from, so you can see whether your automation actually moved the number.
- On the free plan, there’s no automation running yet to compare against, so it re-measures the same gap your first report found, using your last seven days instead of thirty. It’s a fresher read of the same finding, not a comparison.
If your site connected with less than three days of history, there wasn’t enough on file yet for a first report to include a real measurement. Once enough history comes in — usually within a few days — that becomes your first report instead of a before-and-after, since there’s nothing yet to compare it against.
