Questions about moving your solar power to Meridian? Find the answer here:
Sign up with us (if you haven’t already). You’ll also need an import/export meter which – if you're connected to the electricity grid – would have been installed when you had your solar installed. An import/export meter has two registers – one to record the energy you use and the other to track the electricity you export back to the national grid. If you don’t yet have solar or you’re getting grid connected, we’ll work alongside you, your solar provider; or we’ll help you organise a meter installer to ensure you have the right meter. An import/export meter costs around $150.
We recommend reaching out to local solar installers in your area and getting multiple quotes. Check product warranties and get your questions answered. Installers should look at your yearly power consumption and size the solar system to maximise self-consumption (this is the energy you use that comes from your own solar system).
Each property can only be on one plan at a time. If our ‘Solar Plan’ does not work for you, you will still get a 12c/kWh* buy-back rate for excess solar with our other plans.
*12c/kWh rate is variable during the term of your plan.
Fill in a few details below and we’ll be in touch to answer your questions or if you’re ready, get the sign up process started.
You’ll need an import/export meter installed before we can buy your solar, but we’ll help you get one installed if needed. Chat with us about your meter.
