How we calculate your savings

Our calculator uses real data for each state to give you the most accurate indicative estimate possible. Here's what we factor in:

☀️

Peak Sun Hours

Each state has different average daily peak sun hours ranging from 3.8 (Tasmania) to 5.5 (Northern Territory).

Electricity Rates

We use the average retail electricity rate for your state (ranging from 25c to 42c/kWh) to calculate bill savings.

💸

Feed-In Tariff

Excess solar exported to the grid earns a feed-in tariff. We use the typical state rate (5c–10c/kWh).

🏷️

STC Rebate

System costs shown are after the federal STC rebate has been applied — your installer deducts this upfront.
