Step 2

Your system

Solar

A smart meter file or a bill already shows what your solar does; the size here is what we use when a bill has to be scaled to a year, and for the read on your system.

The battery model charges from spare solar, tops up from the grid in free or cheap windows when it pays, and holds charge for the dearest hours.

About these numbers

Plan data comes from the Consumer Data Right feed that every retailer must publish through the Australian Energy Regulator and Victoria’s DEECA, refreshed daily. Prices include GST. Feed in tariffs are shown as published.

Results are estimates from your interval data, scaled to a full year. Wholesale plans (Amber, Flow Power and similar) use the retailer’s published estimate, and real bills move with spot prices. The battery strategy is a sensible heuristic, not an optimiser. Demand charges use the monthly maximum half hour demand. Check the retailer’s Basic Plan Information Document before you switch.

Retailer names and logos belong to their owners and are shown for identification only. Trentham Energy is not affiliated with any retailer and receives nothing from any of them: no commission, no referral fee, no payment for where a plan sits in the list. Trentham Energy, REC 22757.
