Does Alinta Energy offer solar power?
For customers in Western Australia, Alinta Energy has a solar program that tailors a solar system to your household's needs.
There are three tiers available, with all three tiers including a five-year manufacturer's warranty.
- Solar Essentials. Designed with Trina Honey 275W panels and a Zeversolar inverter, this is the company's starting package
- Solar Value. Combining the Trina Honey 275W panels with a Fronius inverter, this step up is designed to balance price with performance.
- Solar Premium. LG Mono 335W panels are combined with a Fronius inverter for premium performance from the solar system.
The retailer doesn't offer a solar installation program in any other state; however, it does offer feed-in tariffs for homes that already have solar panels installed, with tariffs varying depending on your location.
Does Alinta Energy offer GreenPower?
Alinta Energy is not a certified provider of the government's GreenPower program, so if renewable energy generation is a priority for you, you will have to look elsewhere.
Alinta Energy rewards
Alinta offers its energy customers a dedicated rewards program. You need to be logged in to access the full spectrum of discounts and deals on offer, but the program does promise some significant discounts on a wide range of products and services, including the following:
- Up to 48% off movie tickets
- Up to 30% off attractions like Sydney Wildlife Zoo
- Up to 5% off gift cards from leading retailers like Rebel Sport and Supercheap Auto
- Up to 50% off electronics

How can I pay my Alinta Energy bills?
Need to pay your bill? Alinta accepts a wide range of payment methods. However, some plans require you to use certain payment methods in order to receive a discount, so make sure you pay attention to the requirements of your selected plan.

Hi Warren,
Thanks for leaving a question on finder.
We’ve provided a comparison of electricity, gas, and solar deals in THIS page so you know what price and structure will suit your needs. Firstly, it’s always useful to have a recent bill from your current provider when comparing energy providers. We do a great job of comparing deals with energy providers, but if you’re already getting a better deal than anything on offer, it’s always good to know you’ve got the option to stick with what you’ve got.
You can also consider requesting a callback from and energy broker so you can get a personalized quote. You can do so HERE.
Cheers,
Joel
