The amount of savings is based on electricity consumption only, the daily supply charge has not been factored in. The amount of savings does not factor in the costs of the system, regardless of whether it's paid upfront or on a credit contract. The amount of the annual bill savings factors in feed in tariff amounts for any kilowatt-hours exported back to the grid, it does not factor in any export limiting of the inverter. For monthly bills between $100 and $130 amounts, the annual savings amount is greater than the annual bill amount, due to feed in tariff credits for amounts exported back to the grid.

The benefits of solar

There are numerous benefits to switching to solar power. Some of these rush straight to mind and some we need reminding of:

Save money on your electrical bills – Solar means less energy off the grid, which means lower electricity bills. Some Plico members experience savings immediately!

No more blackouts – With Plico’s solar + battery system, you’re able to store your solar energy to use whenever you need it. You can use solar energy during the night and blackouts - your battery has you covered.

Greater energy independence – Be in charge of how you generate, store and use the majority of your energy. You can manage your solar energy through the Plico app. You have the power!

Helping our planet – Solar is green, renewable energy. You can live more sustainably without sacrificing convenience. Give coal the kick and help our planet, all while saving on your electrical bills.

No big upfront costs – Plico gives members solar panels, an inverter and a battery all for one low weekly payment. We offer no big upfront costs so that it’s easy for everyone to make the switch and start saving.

Ten years of ongoing support – Plico members receive ten years of ongoing support. We make sure your system continues to run at an optimal level.

Why should you choose Plico?

Plico's solar panels and battery systems do not require a deposit or big upfront costs. Instead, we spread our costs out weekly, but that doesn’t mean you’re locked in. If you want to pay off your system earlier, there’s no penalty. We also offer ongoing support and a cutting-edge system, with blackout protection, financial rewards through our virtual power plant and your chance to make a positive change for yourself and your community.

How much will solar save me?

 

Solar savings are dependent on individual circumstances. Factors that influence your savings are:

  • How high your energy usage is.
  • What time of day you use the majority of your power.
  • The number of residents in your home.
  • Whether you have battery storage.

Without solar battery storage, when the sun goes down, you'll be paying for your energy off the grid. This makes little sense as you've invested money in your solar system and want to maximise the work it does for you. A solar battery is the key to getting greater energy independence – generate, store and use your energy how you want to.

Plico is different to other solar companies in our payment method. Members pay just one low weekly fee, with no big upfront costs. This means that it doesn’t take years to recoup your return on investment; you can start saving from day one.

How to maximise your solar savings

There are a number of ways to maximise your savings, both by monitoring and managing your power usage, and also maximising the solar panels themselves through the addition of a solar battery.  

Running appliances like dishwashers and washing machines during the day will help you make the most of your solar energy, as will charging appliances during the day for use at night. You can also maximise your home itself by ensuring it is well insulated and by adding a solar battery to store excess solar energy.  

Switching to a time-of-day electricity tariff and joining a Virtual Power Plant will  get you even more value out of your solar investment. Keeping your solar panels clean and monitoring their performance will also ensure your panels last longer.   

How much does solar save you annually?

The annual total of your solar savings depends on how much your electrical bills are. The larger your bills, the greater your savings. However, Australian energy bills have been consistently rising, to the point where most households can expect to save a considerable amount annually from switching to solar power. Use our solar savings calculator to find out how much you could save!
