<p>Enova actually has a tool that you can use to see what your
spending would have been if you ware on a different tier.<br>
I've used it in the beginning of Covid to make the decision to
switch to Tiered. And I totally agree not having to worry what
time it is to use what is great.</p>
<p>The only reason I switched back to TOU is that we installed solar
panels and the tier also matters for generating credits. So in the
summer during the day I make more money to later use in the
winter. I thunk it's worth mentioning.</p>
<p>Cheers<br>
