Where to read more about solar, batteries and the energy market
Most of what you need to run your solar well is on this site. A few outside places are worth knowing about too, for prices, rebates and the bigger picture. These are the ones we go back to.
Who runs the market, and who sets the rules
- AEMO - Australian Energy Market Operator. Wholesale electricity prices, demand, and grid status.
- Australian Energy Regulator - Sets retail price benchmarks (Default Market Offer) and oversees retailer conduct.
- energy.gov.au - Federal energy department. Rebates, schemes, and policy updates.
Where to check what you pay
- Amber Electric - Wholesale-passthrough retailer. Connect your account to Solarprod for live retail prices.
- Energy Made Easy - Government-run retailer comparison site. Useful for benchmarking your current plan against alternatives.
Background reading before you buy
- SolarQuotes - Reviews, comparisons, and an active forum. Good first stop for "what panels / inverter / battery should I get?".
- RenewEconomy - News on the Australian energy transition. Rooftop solar, batteries, EVs, grid policy.
- PV Magazine Australia - Industry-side news on solar and storage.
We don't get paid by any of them. If you find a site we should add, tell us.
