You make it on your roof. You store it in your battery. Your family uses it. This is your energy.
Got Extra Energy?
Similar to other solar systems, Plico still allows you to feed back into the grid whenever you're creating more power than you can use or store and you get paid for it by your energy retailer (eg. Synergy).
No More Blackouts
A Plico system has a built in backup circuit that will keep your lights and power on even if the grid is down for days.
No Energy Guilt
Know that slightly guilty feeling when you or the kids leave the lights on? Say goodbye to that feeling forever.
No More Coal
Instead of costing you money and burning extra coal for no reason, the Plico solar system provides you with clean energy to use when you or your family need it.
How Much Will I Save with Plico?
How much do you pay MONTHLY on your electricity bill?
Remember to check to see if your bill is for one or two months and select the amount you pay for ONE month
You could save $112 annually by installing a Plico Energy 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.

Take Control Of Your Energy Back From The Power Company
It’s time to be in complete control of your own power generation - with the peace of mind of having your power company as your backup.
Sick of your power company dictating the terms? Once you’ve got a solar system with a battery, you will be able to manage if they turn the power off.
Spend more than $150 a month on electricity?
Save Money On Your Electricity Bill With An Easy To Understand Flat Weekly Rate Of $36.50
Revenue generated from the Plico community providing energy services to the grid on behalf of the members are used to offset your normal weekly rate over time.
The more members that join Plico, the more likely it will be that we are able to provide services to the grid.
Plico = Solar Panels + Battery + Inverter + 100% Managed
$36.50 a week too much to pay?
How about $35, $32.50 or even less than $30 per week?
The Plico community is unique because as it grows, so does the likelihood that your bill goes down. Instead of having no say over our energy costs, as the Plico community grows, our ability to negotiate with the network on the provision of energy services to the grid in a managed fashion increases. This means as a collective – we gain the ability to provide valuable services to the energy company. Which in turn means you will make more savings as a Plico member than you would separately.
How is Plico Different to Other Solar Companies?
We’re not like any other solar company you’ve seen before. In fact, we are not a ‘solar company’, we are a community of members creating an amazing, forward thinking renewable energy grid which helps each member create and consume their own energy while helping to evolve and support the energy network.

ARE BATTERIES READY FOR SOLAR?
Waiting For Batteries To Get Better Before Installing Solar?
If you get a solar panel without a battery system and then add a battery later then you’ll be paying twice for installation.
While battery technology is evolving quickly, the grid is already struggling under ‘dumb’ solar being pumped in whenever it’s sunny in a particular suburb.
The Problem With Dumb Solar
‘Dumb’ solar is excess energy that is pumped straight back into the grid from solar panels when no battery is present to store it. The problem is that the grid was not designed for millions of households to be pumping energy back into it.
Plico Energy was designed to solve this issue. So you can be part of the solution, not the problem.
How Plico is Different
Plico members get the battery immediately when the solar system is installed and with only one installation needed.
The Plico system is modular in nature, so at any time you can add more batteries at a lower cost than a complete installation – upgrades in the future will be possible, even encouraged, and will be used to augment (not replace) what you already have in place. Save from day one, save even more later!
As a Plico member you also get the advantage of being part of a community selling energy back to the grid instead of an individual. As it continues to grow, this provides the whole Plico community with leverage so you save more each month.
Plico are with you for the long haul & we'll do what it takes to keep your systems producing power
Plico members can choose to get new batteries for their systems after 10 years as part of the ongoing service agreement
Plico community members have 100% managed systems for the first 10 years and this can (optionally) continue from years 10-25 at less than $10 per week.
If new technology is the answer to keeping your system running at an optimal level during the time we manage your system then that’s what we’ll look at.
Another 10-25 years of service for peace of mind, updated technology and continued (or even increased) savings. Yep, we’ll be hanging around with you for 25 years if you choose.
Don't have solar yet? It's probably not your fault.
The solar industry can feel a bit like the 'wild west' but we're here to solve that.
It’s easy to learn a little about solar but then it’s hard not to be overwhelmed when you see the range of panels, inverters and battery systems available.
Plico solves the jargon by providing a 100% managed solution for a flat weekly rate. You don’t need to worry about having the wrong brand of system or something breaking or being inefficient, that’s on us. We’re constantly monitoring your system and if there are any issues, we get them solved – whether that means replacing, adjusting or coming out to sit down with you to figure out the solution directly.
While over 2 million households in Australia have solar panels installed now, there have been so many problems in the industry from dodgy solar companies going bankrupt to coal companies subtly working against solar in the industry.
Plico is owned by its community of members and backed by a $1 billion asset fund to ensure it continues to serve its members long into the future.
Every time the network expands or has to do maintenance the costs are passed onto those buying power from the network. If you are buying power from them, you are being taxed by stealth.
By installing a Plico system with battery, you’ll be generating your own power instead of buying it from the grid, avoiding this stealth tax.
THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME
Now is The Time to Install a Plico Energy System
Batteries are gaining in popularity and there’s a race on for the batteries that are connecting to the grids.
The owners of these batteries will be part of a powerful energy machine that can work together to support the grid, community and get the biggest savings on their power bills.
Want to go out on your own with a battery?
On your own, you’ve got a system with a computer in your battery, a computer in your control system and a computer in your inverter. You’re left to manage this yourself without any help – and you won’t be able to have any commercial relationships with the grid other than to pay for the basic offers available at the time.
We want you to be a part of the Plico community instead of being an individual with a battery. The future of the Australian energy system should be owned by you. This is why we started the Plico community.
THE COMMUNITY BATTERY FROM BRIAN INNES
Why Plico?
Brian Innes is the founder and technical director of Plico. He is the mastermind engineer behind the community battery system. Brian has been in the global energy space for the last 15 years, advising oil and gas, mining and the largest companies around the world how to be more efficient, renewable and what technologies they can bring to bear to make the planet a better place while saving money.
For the 5 years before starting Plico he was at the Rocky Mountain Energy Institute, the world thought leader in energy usage, working out how the grid of the future could work better through value stacking, better distribution systems and bringing value to the household level.
Plico is different because we’re here for you and the community. We work with you to make sure Plico is a good fit in your situation It is up to us to help you understand because we’re going to be on-call if you have any questions or issues over the next ten years! We’re here whenever you need us.
“Solar has previously been very transactional – get in, get out, a lot of bad behaviour, poor after sales services and bankruptcy. Households are the future – this is what the modelling shows.
Help the households manage the grid and they will save money while becoming the stable, renewable grid of the future. When we started Plico we treated this problem as though we were building an actual energy company.
With the structures we’ve built in Plico, we can now efficiently deploy, efficiently service, provide best in class support and get 75c of every dollar the community makes back to the members to keep bringing down that weekly rate.
That’s what the grid of the future looks like.”

How Do You Get Started With Plico?
Getting started is easy and doesn’t take long. Fill in the form at the top of the page and we’ll call you right back to see if Plico will be a good fit for you. There’s no high pressure selling from Plico. We know that there is no option that is right for everyone but we hope you’ll be as excited by the idea of the Plico community energy solution as we are!HOW MUCH WILL YOU SAVE?
What Are Your Choices now?
If you like the idea of generating and consuming your own power then the question comes down to, when are you going to get your solar installed?
You will likely spend over $25,000 on electricity from the grid
As electricity costs from the grid continue to rise, we project that most households will spend $25,000 – $30,000 over the next ten years. That money is going straight into electricity generation, the majority of which is from coal.
Alternatively, join the Plico energy community, get a fully managed solar system with your own battery and start saving money from your next bill without having to worry about your energy generation needs over the next decade.
You’ll be saving money, making your own power from the sun, helping your community and helping the planet change to a more renewable source of energy.
