Solar Savings Calculator
Calculate how much you could save
What good is a discussion on savings without a digital calculator to help out?
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 $894.69 annually by installing a Plico solar + battery system. Start generating and storing your power for use day and night – no more blackouts!
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.

With Plico’s low weekly instalment and no big upfront costs, adding a battery to your system makes perfect sense. Adding a battery to your solar system allows you to take advantage of the amount of sunshine we receive in Australia, take charge of your own energy usage, slash your bills, and protect yourself against potential blackouts by storing your precious solar energy to use when the sun goes down.
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 give you even more value for your solar investment. Keeping your solar panels clean and monitoring their performance will also ensure your panels last longer.
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.
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.

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!
