The energy library / Energy tariffs
Look at the whole bill.
A generous export rate is only one part of the story. Compare what you buy, what you sell and when your home uses electricity.
Use your annual grid consumption and the rates you actually pay, including the standing charge.
Check eligible equipment, metering, import-tariff restrictions and the export rate available to you.
A time-of-use tariff needs a consumption profile. Its cheapest rate is not your all-day rate.
