Tips for Comparing Plans
High FiT isn't everything
A high feed-in tariff with high usage rates might cost more overall. Consider the full picture.
Time-of-use can save
If you can shift usage to off-peak times, TOU plans often offer better value for solar households.
Check for discounts
Pay-on-time and direct debit discounts can significantly reduce your bill. Make sure you can meet the conditions.
Even the Best Rates Have Limits
Switching energy plans can save you 10-15% on your bill. But solar and batteries can cut your bill by 70-90%.

Why Rate Shopping Isn't Enough
The maths is simple: Even if you find the cheapest rate at 18c/kWh, you're still paying for every kilowatt-hour you use. At average usage of 18kWh/day, that's still ~$1152/year just on usage.
Solar changes the equation: A 6.6kW system generates ~25kWh/day in ACT — more than most homes use. You generate your own power for free, and get paid for the excess.
Batteries complete the picture: Without a battery, you export cheap and buy back expensive. A battery lets you use your solar power at night when rates are highest, maximising your savings.
