Advertised rates can be misleading

The highest export rate isn't always the best deal. Some plans offer great-looking credits—but only at certain times of day, with caps, or hidden fees that cancel out your savings. Use your Smart Meter data to simulate every option.

What makes a good solar buyback plan?

The best plan matches your specific usage patterns. Look beyond the marketing and check:

Timing: When you export vs when you consume power

Credit method: 1:1 credits, fixed rate, or RTW—and any monthly caps

Gotchas: Base fees, credit expiration policies, and minimum usage charges

Most providers hide how their plans will perform with your specific usage—our analysis shows you the truth.
