When you sign up to our VPP we’ll add it right onto your AGL electricity plan, or help you make the switch if you're not with us already. Connection is wireless, so there's no installation.
We'll manage your solar battery remotely based on the best way we think we can help take pressure off the grid.
You can rest easy knowing you'll always have enough energy for your home, and you'll be helping to support the energy needs of your community.
We'll occasionally manage your solar battery. This could mean small increases to your bill – but never more than $50 (GST incl.) every 12 months.
Sometimes we'll discharge energy from your solar battery to power your home. Any leftover energy will be fed into the grid. You'll earn the solar feed-in tariff on your next bill.
Other times, we'll charge it from either your solar system or the grid. If it's charged from the grid, you'll pay your normal grid rate. There might also be times when we hold your solar battery’s charge steady.
There are no lock-in contracts, so you're free to switch plans anytime. Though you'll need to stay on an AGL electricity plan to connect to our VPP.
You can leave our VPP whenever it suits you, though we'll be sad to see you go.
If you bring your own battery to our VPP, there are no exit fees.
If you buy a solar battery or solar battery bundle and choose to leave our VPP within five years, you'll have to pay back the $1,000 you got off the upfront cost in proportion to how much of your five year membership has transpired (pro-rata).
The solar battery and inverters sold as part of our VPP come with a manufacturer’s express warranty that participating in our VPP won’t void. Each manufacturer warranty deals with VPP participation differently, so if you bring your own solar battery we encourage you to read your solar battery warranty for guidance. Contact our solar battery experts on 1300 447 465 if you have any questions.
Overall, we would expect your solar battery to reduce your electricity bills over time. Contact our solar battery experts on 1300 447 465 for help calculating your savings.
