Solar Savings

A typical standard builder inclusion is a 2kW solar system, which saves around $498 per year compared to a home with no solar. The builder typically only installs enough solar to meet the regulations and is not concerned about your ongoing savings. With X2M Smart Energy, your system is upgraded
to a minimum of 5kW+ — more than double the typical included capacity — saving an additional $816 per year on typical energy usage costs.

The larger system means more of your daily energy comes from your own roof rather than the grid. The savings are immediate and ongoing.

HEMS Savings

Your Home Energy Management System increases solar self-consumption by around 6%, squeezing more value out of every panel. By automating when your home pre-heats water, pre-cools rooms and runs appliances, HEMS shifts energy use to peak solar hours and reduces grid draw later in the day.

Estimated additional saving: $121 per year.

Community Battery Benefit

Your connection to the estate’s community battery (where fitted) earns subscribers an additional $75 per year. This payment comes from the battery operator in return for your solar system feeding surplus energy into shared storage.

You do not need to do anything to receive this benefit — your system connects to the community battery through the grid.

Partner Benefits

Smart Energy customers also gain access to exclusive partner offers:

NAB Green Home Loan — Access to home loan options for eligible customers through NAB. Details provided in the Smart Energy info package for your estate.

Solahart Smart Appliances — Discounted pricing on Solahart hot water systems and energy-efficient appliances that integrate with your HEMS.

Cashflow Benefit

Saving an extra $1,000 off your energy costs provides you an opportunity to be ahead in your cashflow. That’s real money back in your pocket each year, reducing the cost of living in your new home from day one. If you apply those saving against your mortgage you could save around $50,000 over the life of your home loan.
