   #019: What Your Power Bill REVEALS About Solar + Batteries

   🔆 Ready to slash your power bill? Book your FREE solar consultation today: https://www.ozenergi.com.au/offer (https://www.ozenergi.com.au/offer) In this episode, Peter walks through two real power bills to show how to read them and when solar and battery upgrades actually make financial sense. One client on the legacy Queensland Solar Bonus Scheme earns 44 cents per kWh for exported power, so adding a battery could raise their bill rather than lower it. Peter explains how to confirm a bill is actual rather than estimated, how to handle controlled load and time-of-use tariffs, and how to calculate average daily kWh for system sizing. Episode Highlights 00:00:05: Two clients are compared. One on the legacy Solar Bonus Scheme earns $358 credit monthly, so a battery could increase their bill by buying back power at 35 cents after selling at 44 cents. 00:00:42: Installation history matters, since older systems approved for specific inverter and panel limits may face restrictions on upgrades. 00:01:21: Solar salespeople often recommend replacing systems entirely, but the host stresses that the right advice depends on the customer's specific tariff and usage. 00:02:02: Always check whether a bill is actual or estimated, since estimated bills can be significantly inaccurate. 00:02:28: Controlled load should generally be removed when adding a battery, but its consumption must be accounted for so the system can cover it. 00:04:03: Time-of-use charges (peak, shoulder, off-peak) are separate from controlled load, and their kWh totals should be summed and divided by billing days to find average daily usage. 00:05:10: System sizing uses software and a typical South East Queensland load profile, with margin added for battery degradation and cloudy days. 00:07:08: Inefficient appliances, such as an old bar fridge with a failing seal, can cost $1 to $2 a day and are worth identifying. 00:08:55: A second, larger bill ($1,784 for 90 days) is broken down: add up the usage figures and divide by the billing days to get the average daily kWh. 00:11:40: How to get a free online estimate in about a minute, followed by a full site analysis, a locked-in price and installation usually within a month Follow OzEnergi: https://www.instagram.com/ozenergi (https://www.instagram.com/ozenergi) https://www.facebook.com/ozenergi/ (https://www.facebook.com/ozenergi/) https://www.linkedin.com/company/130244102 (https://www.linkedin.com/company/130244102)
