EV owners, charging off solar is basically free. Most systems just aren't sized for it.

Ex-solar industry here. Quick numbers: charging at home off the grid runs you $550–600 a year. Off your own solar during the day? Under $100.

an EV adds around 2,000–2,500kWh of demand a year, so a system sized before the car is usually a size too small now. And if you're charging at night with no battery, you're just buying grid power like everyone else.

I built a free calculator that does the numbers for your exact setup bill, postcode, rebates, whether a battery stacks up:

Wasn't expecting this reaction to the free solar tool: thank you Posted here a bit ago about a free, independent tool to check your solar numbers before any salesman gets involved.

A couple of the comments that made my day:

Only built this because I got sick of watching people get oversold in this industry, so knowing it's actually holding up against real numbers means a lot.

Still 100% free, still independent, now covers all of Australia: aussiesolarinfo.com/landing

I want Aussies to understand if solar / batteries will pay themselves off.

Rebates are specifically for Victorians, but numbers work very well. Honest numbers unllike the salesmen.

Built a free solar Return on Investment tool, no contact details needed at all, just put in your details and see where you sit.

Shows your ROI score, current rebates and a 10 year cost projection. Most solar quotes in Victoria are still using feed-in tariff rates 3-5x higher than the actual current rate. This tool uses the real numbers. Snippet of

Check if solar stacks up for you in the Shepparton area

I run a free independent solar check for Victorian homeowners, honest answers and numbers before any salesperson shows up.

Shep is actually a ripper spot for solar. Better sun hours than Melbourne and power bills out there are no joke.

Not an installer, no commissions. Just honest numbers.

Free, takes 60 seconds — aussiesolarinfo.com/landing

If you WFH in Victoria, solar before June 30 could be a legitimate tax write-off ?

I run an independent solar assessment platform for Victorian homeowners (aussiesolarinfo.com/landing) and this comes up every year around EOFY so thought it was worth sharing.

If you're a business owner or have a dedicated home office:

Solar installed before June 30 can be claimed as a business expense. The whole system: panels, battery, installation may be eligible depending on your situation. Business owners should look at instant asset write-off eligibility with their accountant.

WFH with a dedicated office space, the proportion of the system powering that room may be claimable based on floor area percentage.

The numbers this year are actually pretty good:

A typical solar + battery system in Victoria runs around $14,000–$28,000 installed. After government rebates (~$5,600 off upfront) you're looking at $8,400–$22,400. At a 30% tax rate that's potentially $2,500–$6,700 back at tax time on top of the rebates.

Obviously talk to your accountant before claiming anything, this is general info not tax advice.

Happy to answer any questions. I'm independent, not affiliated with any installer.
