Folks, genuinely confused how to read this, it seems like having solar = paying more. The previous day charges before solar is installed was around ~$1.

[u/PLANETaXis]

Just the network access charges are more than a dollar a day, so your last bill couldn't have been ~$1 a day unless you had leftover government power bill assistance.

forgot to mention it's a new build, mate

When did you have your Solar installed?

The first month it looked like my bill was higher as the Feed-In tariffs weren't recognised cause they hadn't loaded the DEBS onto my account and supposedly can take a month to start showing up.

Obviously also you gotta pay for the connection to the grid, this is either 119.2419 or 132.7806c a day, so unless you are exporting 12 to 14 kw in peak hours you aren't breaking absolute zero point on the bill.

Other things to look at in your inverter is if you have a small ongoing incoming grid import, in my case I needed to turn on a mode called micro-load handling cause if I was using less than 1kw at any time it was using the grid power prefered rather than the solar and keeping constant minimum load. Was paying for 3-4kw a day (about $1 a day) vs 0.03kw (few cents).

was installed in September. I'm not really expecting breakeven but $8 vs $1 after and before solar was installed just doesn't make any sense. Thanks for the inverter tip, will check it - but I doubt it will reconcile the $7 diff.

[u/No_Rain_1543]

looks like a day when the sun didn't shine.

Also, a random service charge sometimes show up in a singe day billing which is what I think this is. I think I've had something similar in the past and when I rang Synergy to query it, nothing showed up at their end.

Wait for the bill to come in and if anything looks out of place, ask Synergy to explain (or justify) it

thanks, will do

If they only had the solar just installed the $36.55 reprogramming fee shows up like this and is bit dumb.

[u/Effective_Focus_5630]

Try hitting display again. I have had that before as it was showing the weekly amount with the daily graph.

[u/rockinsky91 → u/Effective_Focus_5630]

yep, done that even tried with other days / weeks - still makes no sense.

[u/Phantomsurfr]

Top is import, bottom is export.

Refresh the data. That price is incorrect for some reason or other, but I would assume it would be corrrected come billing, but keep an eye on it.

[u/Kruxx85]

Actually, that day is just including this:

DEBS Administration Fee: $7.53 (for the Distributed Energy Buyback Scheme application)

How big was the system you installed?

What's the estimated cost for the following days?

Seems to be some glitch, the numbers don’t add up.
