Unlock your solar energy potential

If you are looking for a new way to try out solar, you can now essentially trial solar for 7 years with the Nectr Home Solar plan. Eligible customers in the NSW Ausgrid network can now secure a high quality 6.6 kW PV system – installed on your roof and bundled with a competitive electricity plan over 7 years.

During the 7-year contract period, you’ll pay a competitively priced electricity rate that we don’t plan to change over that period* and Nectr owns and maintains the solar PV system performance. At the end of the 7 years, the solar PV system will become yours for free, along with any remaining manufacturing warranties. Once you own the system, we can help you find an electricity plan with a solar feed-in-tariff that best suits your energy needs.

Energy Plan Pricing

Here are the competitive electricity prices for Nectr Home Solar, that accompany the zero-upfront installation of a solar PV system. We plan to keep these electricity prices the same for your 7-year contract period.*

Daily supply charge: $1.10 / day
Grid electricity usage rate: 22.55 c / kWh
Solar consumption usage rate: 22.55 c / kWh

All rates are GST inclusive

The lowest possible annual price is $1,281. This is 12% less than the reference price based on a representative residential customer who consumes 3,900kWh a year on a Flat Tariff in the Ausgrid Network.

Preconditions

Before we can install the solar PV system, the following preconditions need to be met:

We are satisfied you meet our eligibility requirements
You have secured any local council, home loan lender and other third-party approvals required for the solar PV system to be installed; and
We are satisfied we can install the system at your premises.

If a Precondition is not met, then we may terminate the Agreement and discuss what other Nectr electricity plans may better suit your needs.

Early Exit Fees – System Buyout Price

If you decide to exit the contract early, you must pay the System Buyout Price. You will then own the System.

The Initial Buyout Price is $4,960, which reflects the system’s initial value.

The System Buyout Price then decreases uniformly each day before reaching $0 on the day your contract ends at 7 years.

Some reasons for early exit include:

You sell or vacate your premises;
You interfere with the system operation and it can’t produce for 90 days; or
You fail to pay three bills by their due date in any 12-month period

Key Fees

Other key fees with the electricity plan include:

De-installation fee: $1,000

This fee covers our costs for removing the system from your roof. It applies if: (1) you require us to remove and then reinstall the system to allow for renovations or other work to your roof; or (2) we start to install the system, but encounter a Latent Condition and rectifying that condition would substantially delay or increase the installation cost. A Latent Condition means a physical condition at your Premises and its near surrounds, which couldn’t have been reasonably foreseen.

Call out fee: $200

This fee covers our costs for attending your Premises to investigate any damage you notify us about that you believe we caused during the system installation. This fee only applies if we determine the damage was not caused by us during the Installation Works.

Other fees

Sometimes Nectr may need to charge your account additional fees. These fees are set by Ausgrid, your Local Energy Network Distributor and charged to Nectr on your behalf. A list of these fees is available here

*The only reason we would be able to vary your electricity prices is where the costs we incur in selling you electricity varies or we expect they will, but only where that cost variation arises from a future Change in Law. Some examples of previous Change in Law events include the introduction of a carbon tax and a new government levy to support ambulance services. We would provide you with advance notice of any variation in your electricity prices.
