Electricity bills that stay high after solar usually have a clear cause. Solar only cuts the power you buy while the panels generate, so evening use, a small system or a fault can keep your bill up. This page is part of our solar power installation service.

Common Causes

  • Most of your use falls in the evening and overnight.
  • The system is smaller than your needs.
  • The bill's fixed supply charge stays the same.
  • Your retail plan pays a low rate for exported power.
  • The system is underperforming.

How to Read Your Bill

Look at usage by time of day, the power you exported and the supply charge. This shows how much solar is helping.
