We use your power bills to look at how much your home currently uses to run comfortably. From here, we're able to use this information to calculate what size of solar energy system would best work in your home to provide you with lower energy costs for 25 years. These estimations assume two things; that your energy use will reduce by 5% once you have total visibility on how much you use, and that the annual electricity price increases by 3.5%.

-
You own your homeWe can only install our systems if you’re the owner of the property.
-
Your power bill is more than $85 per month.To install a solar subscription and to get lower energy costs you need a power bill of $85 or more.
-
There’s roof spaceSolar systems require roof space for installation and we need a sunny area. We can take a look at your roof for you.
Two ways to pay
Choose a payment option that best suits your lifestyle.
-
Progressive increaseOpt for larger energy savings in the first five years of your solar subscription and pay a low monthly solar subscription fee that increases at a fixed 2.5% per year.
-
Fixed feeMaximise long-term savings over the course of your 25 year solar subscription. Your estimated savings will be lower at the beginning of your contract and grow in later years.
How you'll pay
Your solar subscription is split into two bills – one for solar and one for the grid energy portion. Together, they deliver you a lower cost of energy.
-
Solar subscriptionOnce the solar energy system has been activated, you’ll get an invoice for the solar subscription. This covers your maintenance, optimisation and subscription fees. When you join us the first invoice will be for the part of the month that you have powered your home with our solar subscription. And a second invoice for the next full month in advance. After that, you will be charged on the 20th of each month or the following business day going forward.
-
Energy bill
The second part of the solar subscription is your invoice from Ecotricity. This covers any grid energy you’ve purchased over the month and will show you any solar energy that you have sold back to the grid and been credited for. Plus, network, lines charges and GST. The energy portion will vary depending on the season. For example, in summer when there are higher sunshine hours you will purchase less energy and sell more energy back to the grid. Whereas in winter when there are lower sunshine hours you will purchase more energy.
What happens if I move house?
We get that not everything is permanent, and people move homes. We have three different options for you if you decide to relocate.
-
TransferWe help you transfer the solar subscription to the new homeowner.
-
