Savings
How much will you actually save with solar?

Solar savings get talked up a lot, so it pays to understand where they actually come from for your home.
Self-consumption beats feed-in
Using your own solar is worth far more than exporting it. Every kilowatt you use yourself avoids buying it at full retail price; exported power earns a much smaller feed-in tariff.
Sizing for your usage
A system sized to your real usage, not just the biggest that fits, gives the best return. We model this from your actual bills before quoting.
