ExploreYour energy day at a glance
Electricity isn’t just about how much you use — it’s about when. This chart shows how household usage, solar generation, and wholesale prices move through a typical Australian day.
Morning & evening peaks
Household usage spikes when you wake up and again in the evening — exactly when prices are highest.
Midday solar surplus
Solar floods the grid around noon, pushing wholesale prices to their lowest — that’s why feed-in rates are low.
The price signal
Shifting heavy loads away from the evening peak and into the solar window saves money — this is the core of time-of-use pricing.
