Solar Sharer explained for homeowners: how it works and whether it's worth it<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n \r\n\r\nThe <\/span>Solar Sharer Offer<\/span><\/b> gives eligible households three hours of free electricity in the middle of the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt launched on 1 July 2026 and is designed to help households use more electricity when solar generation is abundant. You do not need rooftop solar to access it, but you do need a smart meter and an eligible retailer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe important part is what happens outside those three free hours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSolar Sharer is not a plan where your whole electricity bill becomes free. You still pay for electricity outside the free window and your daily supply charge, so whether it works for your home depends on how much electricity you can move into the free period.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHere's how Solar Sharer works and how it compares with other options.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

What is the Solar Sharer Offer?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSolar Sharer is a regulated electricity offer introduced by the Australian Government as part of the Default Market Offer (DMO) reforms.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt is administered within the regulatory framework overseen by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), rather than being a product created by Flow Power.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe offer is available to eligible households in:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
    \r\n \t
  • New South Wales<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
      \r\n \t
    • South Australia<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
        \r\n \t
      • South East Queensland<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nRetailers with more than 1,000 customers in DMO regions are required to make the Solar Sharer Offer available to eligible households.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nSolar Sharer is optional. You choose whether to opt in through your retailer after considering how well the offer matches your household's energy use.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

        How does Solar Sharer work?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThe basic idea is simple: you get a set period of free electricity in the middle of the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou can use up to <\/span>24 kWh of electricity per day<\/span><\/b> during the free period.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe free window depends on where you live:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
        State or region<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\nFree electricity window<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\nDaily free-use cap<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
        NSW<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n11am\u20132pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\nUp to 24 kWh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
        South East Queensland<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n11am\u20132pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\nUp to 24 kWh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n
        South Australia<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n12pm\u20133pm<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\nUp to 24 kWh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\nThe offer is based on local time.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nOutside the free window, you still pay the applicable usage rates and daily supply charge for your plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

        Which states have Solar Sharer?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSolar Sharer is currently available in the Default Market Offer regions of NSW, South Australia and South East Queensland.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nVictoria has its own <\/span>Midday Power Saver<\/span><\/b> arrangement from October 2026 rather than the Solar Sharer Offer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe Australian Government has also said it is considering the potential expansion of Solar Sharer or a similar offer into other areas.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

        Do you need solar or a battery for Solar Sharer?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\r\n

        \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\nNo.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou do not need rooftop solar or a home battery to access Solar Sharer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou do need an eligible home with a smart meter, and you need to opt in through a retailer offering the plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nHaving solar or a battery can change how much value you get from the free window, though.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nA battery can charge during the free period and store that energy for later. Solar households can also use more of their available generation during the day instead of exporting it.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

        The catch: what does Solar Sharer cost outside the free window?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\r\n

        \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\nThe three free hours are only one part of the plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou still pay for:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

          \r\n \t
        • Electricity used outside the free window<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
            \r\n \t
          • Your daily supply charge<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
              \r\n \t
            • Electricity used above the 24 kWh daily free-use cap<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe AER regulates the tariff structure for Solar Sharer. The offer has a daily free period, but it is not designed to make your entire electricity bill free.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis means your household's usage pattern matters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIf you can move a meaningful amount of electricity into the free window, you have more opportunity to benefit. If most of your electricity use happens in the evening and you cannot change that, the free period may have less impact on your overall bill.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nBefore switching, compare the Solar Sharer rates during and outside the free period with the rates on your current plan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

              Getting the most from Solar Sharer with solar and a battery<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\r\n

              \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\nYou do not need solar or a battery to use Solar Sharer, but either can give you more ways to use the free electricity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

              <\/h4>\r\n

              Move your biggest energy users into the free window<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nLook at the appliances that use the most electricity and see which ones you can safely schedule between 11am and 2pm in NSW and South East Queensland, or 12pm and 3pm in South Australia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis could include:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
                \r\n \t
              • EV charging<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                  \r\n \t
                • Washing machines<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                    \r\n \t
                  • Dishwashers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                      \r\n \t
                    • Clothes dryers<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                        \r\n \t
                      • Heating and cooling<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                          \r\n \t
                        • Battery charging<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nTimers and smart appliance settings can make this easier.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

                          <\/h4>\r\n

                          Use solar when it's available<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nIf you have rooftop solar, the middle of the day is already when your system may be producing the most electricity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nUsing more electricity at home during this period can increase your self-consumption rather than sending as much solar back to the grid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

                          <\/h4>\r\n

                          Use a battery to carry free energy into the evening<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nA battery can store electricity during the free period and make that stored energy available later.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThis can be particularly useful for households that use more electricity in the evening, when the Solar Sharer free window has ended.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe important thing to remember is the <\/span>24 kWh daily cap<\/span><\/b>. The free period does not mean you can charge an unlimited amount of energy for free.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

                          <\/h4>\r\n

                          Who does Solar Sharer suit?<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\r\n

                          \u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\r\nSolar Sharer is designed for households that can move some of their electricity use into the middle of the day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt may suit you if you:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n
                            \r\n \t
                          • Have an EV you can charge during the day<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                              \r\n \t
                            • Have a home battery<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                                \r\n \t
                              • Have flexible appliances you can schedule<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                                  \r\n \t
                                • Have someone at home during the day<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                                    \r\n \t
                                  • Have solar and want to increase daytime energy use<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n
                                      \r\n \t
                                    • Can shift a meaningful amount of your household's electricity use<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nYou may want to think more carefully about it if your electricity use is concentrated in the evening and you have little flexibility to change when you use energy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe key question is not simply <\/span>\"How much free electricity do I get?\"<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt is <\/span>\"How much of my household's electricity use can I actually move into the free window?\"<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

                                      \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSolar Sharer is one way to make the most of abundant daytime electricity. Flow Power has residential plans built around a similar idea of changing when you use or export energy, but the way each plan works is different.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
