Solar and batteries

Just had solar or a battery fitted?Your old bills describe the home you had before. Now the daily supply charge, when you import and how much you export matter far more than the cost of electricity.

How it works

  1. 1Tell us about your energy usageUse our advanced estimation engine to model it based on a few questions, or simply enter your values directly.
  2. 2We cost every standard electricity plan available to youWe take your usage profile and run it through our pricing engine to calculate the cost of every electricity plan available to you - seasonal rates, time-of-use windows, feed-in tariffs, supply charges, controlled load and discounts included.
  3. 3See the real yearly costWe rank all the plans available to you cheapest first, with a line-by-line breakdown of how each price was reached and a link straight to the retailer to sign up.

What we do differently

Ranked on what you'd actually pay
Every plan is costed against your own usage, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year - not sorted by an advertised headline rate.
Free midday electricity, costedNew
The government have mandated free electricity windows in some states from July 2026. We find these, read them out of the fine print, and cost them against the hours you'd actually use them - daily kWh cap and all.
Solar feed-in valued properly
For users with large solar systems, electricity rates are of little importance and other comparison sites fall flat because of this. We fully cost the things that matter to solar users like feed-in rates and the daily supply charge so that you can get the best return on your solar investment.
Bonuses and perks priced, not promised
Sign-up credits, loyalty points and bundled memberships are valued and can be added into a year-one price - each one optional, so you can pick what's of value to you.
Controlled load done right
1 in 4 homes have a separate circuit for hot water or a pool pump - this changes which plan wins. We price plans on the circuits you actually have, at the hours you actually use them.
No account, no email, no cookies
There's nothing to sign up for. We never ask for your name, your email or street address, and nothing you enter is tied to you.
