Your energy retailer might change how they charge you. Check with them about how solar will affect your power bill.
When you first install solar and start generating, a default Solar Time of Use tariff is applied. This means you are charged differently at different times of the day. It is different from the tariff you are currently on, even if you are on a Time of Use tariff now.
However, if your retailer includes a valid flat rate solar tariff in the solar meter reconfiguration service order, the opt-in clause is recognised and a flat rate tariff is applied.
Peak rates are between 3pm-9pm everyday.
For more information, see Network tariffs.
