Does Qenergy offer solar?
QEnergy does not install solar panels, but it will pay you a feed-in tariff for any excess energy you feed back into the power grid with an existing solar system.
How green is QEnergy?
QEnergy scored a 3.5/10 on the Green Electricity Guide, putting it in the bottom third of Australian retailers. They have little in the way of carbon offsets or progressive fossil fuel policies, and their solar tariffs are fairly minimal.
However, they do have GreenPower options ranging between 10 and 100% on their power plans. Businesses can access QGreen, which lets businesses put the GreenPower logo on their documentation when they purchase 10% or more GreenPower.
Does QEnergy offer any special incentives to sign up?
- SmoothPay. If you want, you can sign up for QEnergy's SmoothPay to increase the predictability of your bills. This splits your energy payments into 12 equal monthly installments across the year, calculated on your normal energy usage. You'll be charged for excess use and your payments will be reduced if you use less than estimated.
Can I manage my plan from my phone?
No, there's no way to manage your plan from your phone.
Important notes: The estimated price we show by default is based on a single rate tariff. On your bill this might be known as a 'peak tariff', 'peak only' or an 'anytime tariff'. There are other tariff types available to customers and you may need to contact your provider if you are on these tariffs:
- Single rate with a controlled load
- Time of use
- Time of use with a controlled load
The price estimate should not be used as an official quote, but an indication of what your costs may be on the plan. It varies based on whether you provide us with your bill details. You can learn more here.

Can I change my meter to a solar buy back meter
Hello Jennifer,
Thank you for your inquiry.
If you wish to change your meter to a solar buyback meter you may refer to our guide on how solar feed-in tariffs works as well as our beginners guide to solar. This page will serve as a guide for the things you may need to consider. No one can guarantee that having solar panels installed will insulate your business from the expense, but it is important to know that there are other ways of doing things. It’s worth talking to a specialist energy consultant about your situation, seeing what you might stand to gain from making the switch.
Hope this helps. Should you have further questions or clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Best Regards,
Robyn
