How can I compare my power bill .I find it so confusing
Hi John & Cheryl,
Thank you for reaching out to Finder.
Not sure what you are asking about comparing your power bill. The page we are on offers different options on energy providers available to you. It list details on what services they could provide as well as the states where they are available. Clicking on the “More Info” button will lead you to the review page for that specific company for you to learn more on what service they provide. Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Reggie

We have just installed 11 solar panels in Grovedale
Are we able to claim a government rebate and how do we do this.
Hi Judy,
Thanks for your question.
Generally, when homeowners invest in an eligible solar power system, the Federal Government issues STCs based upon the size of the energy efficient system and their location. The number of STCs you can receive depend on your location and which zone that falls into.
To learn more about the processes involved in getting the STCs in your area, you can reach out to your local government agency that handles its issuance.
Cheers,
