Tips for Comparing Plans

lightbulb

High FiT isn't everything

A high feed-in tariff with high usage rates might cost more overall. Consider the full picture.

schedule

Time-of-use can save

If you can shift usage to off-peak times, TOU plans often offer better value for solar households.

percent

Check for discounts

Pay-on-time and direct debit discounts can significantly reduce your bill. Make sure you can meet the conditions.

Beyond Rate Shopping

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 23c/kWh, you're still paying for every kilowatt-hour you use. At average usage of 18kWh/day, that's still ~$1516/year just on usage.

Solar changes the equation: A 6.6kW system generates ~25kWh/day in SA — 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.

Annual Bill Comparison

Grid only (avg rate)~$2,400/yr
Best rate (this page)~$2,040/yr
With solar~$720/yr
Solar + battery~$240/yr

Based on 18kWh daily usage, 6.6kW solar, 10kWh battery
