Solar Connections

If you are thinking of installing small scale photovoltaic electricity generation, it’s important to understand how your chosen solution will affect your electricity bill.

The type of meter needed to support your installation and the resulting tariff you are assigned will have an impact on how much you are paid for the energy you produce, and the tariffs you pay for electricity drawn from the electricity grid.

2011 heralds a number of electricity tariff changes as a result of new initiatives to give customers greater control over how they manage their electricity use. As a result, CitiPower and Powercor’s range of tariffs have been streamlined and simplified. You can learn more about solar installations and tariffs through the fact sheets below, or access a range of forms and guidelines to help you connect solar or other forms of generation to the CitiPower or Powercor networks.
