Switch Your Thinking
As WA’s trusted, local solar and solar + battery provider, Plico’s goal is to make solar + battery accessible and affordable for all. Which means that, as well as our low weekly instalment model, we keep you up to date with all the solar savings out there.
What is the Switch Your Thinking program?
The Switch Your Thinking (SYT) program is a local government scheme designed to encourage residents and small businesses to make small changes to the way they live and work to be more sustainable.
It works by offering simple tips, events, and discounts to help people save energy, reduce waste, and make choices that are better for the planet. They work with the community to create a healthier environment for today and for the future.

Who is eligible for the scheme?
Switch Your Thinking is currently based in Western Australia. It began in 2002, as a joint initiative between the City of Armadale, City of Gosnells, and the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale, but it has now spread with its Energy Efficiency Pilot Program (EEPP) running across 55 local government areas.
Which councils are participating?
If you want to find out if your council is participating, check the Switch Your Thinking website or your local council's environment/sustainability page for a list of participating councils.
What incentives are available?
SYT offers discounts through partnerships with local businesses in the participating local councils. While the discounts vary depending on location, some examples are electric vehicle chargers, energy-efficient lighting (LEDs) insulation, water-saving devices, bikes and e-bikes, and solar battery and storage systems.
Energy Efficiency Pilot Program (EEPP)
The Energy Efficiency Pilot Program is designed to educate people about the benefits of sustainable energy, including solar panels, solar batteries and electric vehicles.
It offers Do-it-Yourself Home Energy Audit Kits on free loan from over 100 libraries and Community Resource Centres across 55 local governments in WA. The kits contain thermal imaging cameras, plug-in energy monitors, thermometers and other tools to check and see what your energy efficiency is.
Testing your energy efficiency is a great way to see how a solar system could save you money. If you’re interested in exploring the benefits of solar, look no further. Plico is WA's trusted, local solar and battery provider, with local support teams, simple weekly instalments, a Virtual Power Plant, community support, and an ongoing relationship long after your system is installed.
You can also chat to the switched-on people at Plico by calling 1300 175 426 to see how a solar + battery solution can help you save.
SAVINGS CALCULATOR
Find out how much you could save with a Plico System.
How to calculate your MONTHLY electricity bill?
To instantly calculate your potential solar savings, simply input your MONTHLY electricity bill below (remember, bills often appear in two monthly instalments, so make sure you’re only entering the monthly amount.) Potential savings are calculated inclusive of the Plico weekly instalments.
You could save $5201 annually by installing a Plico System and creating your own power from the sun! You'll be off coal and able to stay powered up if the grid goes down.
With your current energy usage, installing a Plico Energy System will cost you approximately an extra $0.26 daily. This is a small price to pay for getting off coal and being able to stay powered up if the grid goes down.
Our savings calculator is based off the Energy Creator 5 system. The calculation is an example and not a prediction of exact savings. Once a site visit with a sales representative is completed, you will be issued with a proposal detailing exact savings.
