Is my home a good fit?
Solar and battery systems aren’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s okay. We've tailored our solutions to suit every home, budget and energy needs; no matter how big or small. Find out if your home is a good fit for our Small Home Solutions.
Great news
A Small Home Solution is perfect if:
- You have 1-2 people living in your home;
- Your bills are around $150/month;
- Your electricity use is spread across the day and night;
- Your roof has space for around 14 solar panels;
- You have room for a small battery on an external or garage wall; and/or
- Your budget is limited.
Worth a conversation
We'll take a closer look if:
- Your bills are more than $200/month (a larger system is recommended);
- Your average bill is less than $100/month (inc service charges);
- Your roof has heavy shading; and/or
- Your energy needs are expected to increase in future (EV, growing family, pool etc).
Honest answer
Now may not be a good time if:
- You rent and don't have landlord approval;
- You live in an apartment;
- Your roof cannot support solar;
- Your energy use is extremely low or you have high energy needs (a larger system is recommended);
- You live outside of Plico's service area.
If Plico isn’t right for your home, we’ll tell you — no pressure, no obligation.

How Solar and Battery work together
During the day, your solar panels generate electricity for your home.
Any excess energy is stored in your battery instead of being exported to the grid. When the sun goes down, your battery automatically powers your home using the energy you've already generated.
That means less energy purchased from your retailer and more control over your power bills.
The result?
More savings, greater energy independence and confidence knowing you're getting the most from your solar system.

Location
How much energy do you use? Pick the option closest to your average monthly electricity bill, or choose Actual to enter your own figure.
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.
FAQs.
-
1. Can I purchase a system upfront?
Yes. You can buy a Plico system upfront or with Plico Finance. You may be able to access WA interest-free loans and use the loan to purchase your system upfront from Plico. As an approved vendor, we can help you access the loan and a new solar + battery solution.
-
2. How long are the weekly payments for?
Plico's payment terms are for 10 years. You can choose to pay your system off in weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Our 10-year term matches the warranty of the battery.
-
3. Do I own the system outright?
If you pay for your Plico system upfront, you own your system once it's installed and paid for.
If you choose to pay for your Plico system in instalments, you own your system at the end of your payment term (usually 10 years). You can also choose to pay your Plico system out at any time during your payment term.
-
4. What brands do you use?
We use AlphaESS and Signenergy batteries and inverters. Astro and Jinko are our trusted solar panel brands.

In WA, you'll earn VPP Rewards when you contribute energy during VPP events. You will be paid a minimum of 99c for every unit of energy exported to the grid during VPP events (from 1 July 2026). That's three times what you pay for the same energy!
-
6. What rebates are available?
A National Battery Rebate and WA Battery Rebate are currently available for WA households. The WA rebate is up to $1,300 and the National rebate is tiered, offering around a 30% discount on solar batteries. Plico will help you get the maximum rebate you are eligible for.
