Thanks for getting in touch, I understand it can be surprising to see higher costs, especially when you have both solar and a battery in place.

To better understand what’s going on, we’d need a bit more detail about your setup and usage. For example, are you seeing a drop in solar export, or is your battery not covering as much of your usage as expected? Has there been a change in your usage patterns recently?

We also have some incredibly knowledgeable community members like @Lester , who regularly share great insights around solar, battery performance, and energy plans — they may be able to offer some helpful tips too.

Cheers, Basil

Was there any actual info in the message body, or just the title ?

With quality and decent size solar and a battery, many households could be nearly bill free . . . it's more difficult in winter with low production and higher usage for most homes, and there are SO many factors that can affect what benefits a range of different households can get from the same system.

If @neilwc wants to share some info, it's possible to work through to a solution to his dilemma.
