Demystifying the Solar Bill

After installing solar, your electricity bill changes format. It no longer just shows "Current Reading - Previous Reading". It now has sections for Import, Export, and Net.

Key Terms in your Bill

• Import (I): The electricity you consumed from the grid (mostly at night).
• Export (E): The excess solar electricity you sent to the grid during the day.
• Net (N): I - E. If Positive, you pay. If Negative, you get credit.
• Banked Units: If you export more than you import, the extra units are preserved in your "Energy Bank" and can be used in future months.

Why am I still getting a bill?

Even if your solar generation is high, you might receive a bill for:

1. Fixed Charges: The rent for the connected load (kW).
2. Electricity Duty/Tax: Government tax on the units you consumed.
3. FACA: Fuel Adjustment Charges.

However, the main energy component will be Zero.
