Check to see if your electricity grid provider will change your tariff structure after installing a smart meter, which is required to install solar. Your grid provider charges your electricity supplier who then may or may not pass this on to you. Changes to your tariff could include time of use charges and demand charges.
My own experience after installing solar was a surprise change in the tariff structure and I was no longer able to access the same electricity plans that were available prior to installing solar.
Yup, i am aware of the plans being different for solar. So, I have noted to ask for pricing structure and any associated cost by switching to solar. Thank you
Also see what your current provider will do.
Central coast here. My partner added solar with All Green Solutions, and I think she is with Ausgrid.
By rolling into a solar package with Ausgrid, she is getting a flat 10c FIT with no limit, unlike what a lot of players offer. Some cap you at 10kw, some step you down after a few kw to a lower FIT.
In summer, we generate 80kw/h on a 10kw system. Most of that goes to credit
80 kw/h looks great, what is the number around winter?
Today was 46.5.
Even on a shitty rainy day, it still pulls 20.
