Utility giant Origin is slashing $1,000 off selected solar packages in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia and the ACT.
The savings will apply to Origin Energy’s Advantage solar range on its 6.33 kilowatt (kW) or 10.14kW systems for customers who grab a quote before 31 March 2022.
Origin’s Advantage range includes a Goodwe inverter and JA Solar 390W panels and is claimed to be the provider’s ‘no-fuss solution’ for households new to solar.
Aussies who choose Origin as their solar energy installer will also be eligible to sign up to its exclusive power plan that comes with a higher feed-in tariff (FiT). Origin’s Solar Boost Plus usually comes with an extra two cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for exporting leftover electricity back into the grid when compared to the retailer’s other solar plans.
Households already with solar can still bag a feed-in tariff on the ‘Solar Boost’ or ‘Solar Lite’ deals.
For the full terms and conditions of this $1,000 saving, it’s best to head to Origin’s website.

How big is a 6.33kW or 10.14kW solar system?
The system sizes included as part of Origin’s offer are both larger than what’s typically chosen by the average Australian household. According to recent Canstar Blue data, a 5kW system was the average solar system size installed by residents, although there has been a jump in the number of households installing systems that are 6kW or bigger.
Large households or those who use a lot of power may benefit from a bigger solar system. Going bigger can also be a way of future-proofing a property’s energy needs, especially in homes where the number of occupants grow. Furthermore, a larger solar panel system may even add value to a property over time.
As always, it’s best to chat with a licenced installer to see which solar system size is appropriate for each individual’s needs.

While most Aussies use solar to power their homes during the day, many can send electricity back into the grid in return for a credit on their bills. Remember, unless there’s a solar battery installed, a house will still use energy at night, so being connected to an energy plan with a feed-in tariff can come in handy when there’s leftover power to export.
