The cost of simply staying connected to the grid is rising - and fast.
We’ve already seen supply charges increase by more than 100% on some energy plans, and the industry is moving toward major supply charge reform over the coming years. Why? As more Australians generate and store their own energy, less electricity is being purchased from the grid, while the cost of maintaining the network remains.
That means the economics of energy are changing.
Today, staying connected to the grid still makes sense for many households and businesses, especially with premium peak battery export rates currently reaching 18–45c/kWh in some periods.
In fact, with a properly designed solar and battery system, many customers can completely offset their supply charges through strategic peak battery exports. In some cases, a large enough system can achieve a bill-free outcome - or even generate a credit on the electricity bill.
But what happens in 5-10 years if:
• Supply charges continue to rise
• Export rates reduce
• Electricity prices increase further
The future belongs to homes and businesses designed for energy resilience.
That means:
✓ Larger solar systems that can perform through winter
✓ Scalable battery storage
✓ Off-grid ready capability
✓ EV-ready infrastructure
✓ V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) capability
The goal isn't to go off-grid now; it's just to have the option in the future.
Your EV may soon become one of the largest batteries you own - powering your home during outages, reducing grid reliance, and potentially exporting energy back to the grid when it makes financial sense.
This is why future-ready system design matters.
Don't invest in technology you'll outgrow or need to replace in a few years.
