Powertracer now reveals the financial benefits of energy trading for customers who are on flat or single rate tariffs. You’ve seen it on your energy bill from your retailer, but now you can view it any time without waiting for your monthly bill.

If you’re on a Time of Use (TOU) tariff then you won’t see anything yet. We’re working to include this in a future release. You can see your retailer default rates under Trade Rules. If there is a range of prices then that means you’re on a TOU tariff, whereas if you only see one price, then you’re on a single rate or flat tariff.

✅ Green is good

Cost savings and credits are displayed in the trade chart summary and are indicated by a green arrow, either pointing up if it’s a credit, or down if it’s a cost saving:

🔻 Red can be good too

If you choose to share your solar export for 0c/kWh, or sell for less than your feed-in tariff (FiT), then you’ll see a downward red arrow under exports. This effectively means you’re transferring your FiT benefit to other properties in your trading network. Many of our business customers choose to do this.

In addition, if you’ve chosen to be generous and buy someone’s solar energy for more than your retailer default rates, then you’ll see these additional costs indicated by a red arrow under imports.
