There are no fees to apply to install a renewable energy system or to participate in our buyback offer for standard applications.
As an existing renewable energy customer you may expand the number of panels connected to your existing inverter (provided your existing inverter can support this expansion) and continue to receive the buyback price and any net Feed-in Tariff (FiT) payments you currently receive.

When sunlight hits the solar panels on your roof, your inverter converts it into electricity that is ready to use in your home. If you don’t use the electricity made by the solar panels, your meter measures how much of your excess electricity is fed back into the network for someone else to use.
