Ivy Energy: Features, Pricing and Integrations

Ivy Energy sells billing software, and there are no chargers on its product list. It automates tenant-level billing for onsite solar and EV charging at multifamily properties, with tariff and time-of-use calculations, unit-level allocation across complicated metering, and battery storage programs aimed at cutting peak demand charges. The homepage names Greystar, Essex, AvalonBay, Rexford, HG Fenton and Kire Builders among the operators that use it. That makes it the odd one out in the multifamily EV charging guide, where most vendors sell hardware, and the facts panel below is rendered from our vendor database with a source and verification date on each entry.

Who it fits

The database tags institutional multifamily. The buyer is an owner who already has, or is building, rooftop solar and charging at a community and needs to bill residents for what they use without a spreadsheet. EV charging is one line on Ivy’s product list next to solar and storage, so the fit is strongest where the property is treating energy as a revenue line across all three.

It does not fit a property that needs chargers. Ivy bills for charging, so the property still needs a hardware vendor and an installer. It also fits less well for an owner with chargers and no solar, who may find that a charging vendor’s own billing app covers the need.

Pricing

Ivy does not publish pricing, and the site points buyers to a free NOI assessment instead. Ask how the fee is structured, whether per unit, per meter, per property or as a share of the energy revenue it bills. Ask whether EV billing is priced separately from solar billing, what onboarding costs, and whether the integration with your PMS carries its own fee. Ask what a typical property pays in the first year against what it bills residents, since the homepage pitches the product as a way to turn onsite energy into net operating income.

Integrations

The database lists Yardi, RealPage and Entrata. Ivy’s 2024 year-in-review post says those partnerships automate rent roll syncing, move-in and move-out updates, and posting charges directly to resident ledgers. It also names Conservice, through a public API built for that integration, which matters for a property whose utility billing already runs through Conservice. Ask to see one resident’s EV charge travel from the charger’s data to a posted ledger line in your system. Ask which charger networks Ivy can pull session data from, because that list decides which hardware you can pair it with.

Limitations and questions to ask

Two vendors means two contracts and a handoff between them. Ask who a resident calls when a charging bill looks wrong, Ivy or the hardware vendor, and how the two share data to answer. Ask how a missed or estimated read is handled. Ask what Ivy needs from your utility to calculate tariffs, and how it handles a rate change mid-cycle. On solar, ask how it applies the local net metering rules where you operate, since the billing logic depends on them. Ask for references at a property with EV charging in production, since the homepage case studies lead with solar.

Alternatives

The EV charging for multifamily vendors page compares every vendor on the same facts. ParkDwell is another software-first vendor, billing per kWh at assigned spots from inside a parking platform that also names Yardi, RealPage and Entrata. Pando Electric handles the charging and the billing together, metering each driver and reimbursing the property.
