Quick Quote
To quickly set the customer’s electricity tariff and consumption, you will just be asked for the monthly bill total (ex Sales tax). From this, SolarPlus will automatically set 3 things:
The electricity tariff. This is a basic flat rate tariff, comprising a $1/day supply charge, 30c grid import tariff and 10c grid export tariff (feed-in tariff). These default rates are not currently editable by users, but will be in the near future.
The average daily kWh usage. This is calculated based on:
(Bill total) - (daily supply charge x 30 days) / (grid import tariff) / (30 days)
The consumption profile shape (the time of use shape of the load curve) used will be the Default consumption profile as set in your User Preferences. If there is no default consumption profile in User Settings, then ‘A typical home night air-con’ is used.
After selecting the Quick Quote option, you can always come back and adjust the electricity tariff, the average daily kWh usage and the consumption profile load curve.
