Faster feasibility from a power bill.
Drop in a bill or a postcode and Apex models hundreds of solar, battery and electricity-plan scenarios - then ranks the ones that actually pay off by payback, return and lifetime value. In seconds.
Most quotes start with a rule-of-thumb system size and a flat rate off the top of a bill. But the right system depends on when power is used, what the network charges, and which retail plan wins once solar is exported. Apex prices all of it - so you quote the system that actually pays back, and you can prove it.
From a bill to the best system, automatically
No manual sizing, no spreadsheets. Apex reads the real usage and prices, then optimises the whole picture - hardware and tariff together.
1. Drop the bill
Upload a power bill or enter a postcode. Apex reads the usage, rates, supply and demand charges - and the customer's details.
2. Apex optimises
It builds an hourly model and searches every sensible solar & battery size against real network tariffs, retail plans and VPP/FCAS.
3. Compare options
See each option ranked by payback, 10-year NPV, IRR or biggest saving - with the cheapest electricity plan for each.
Hundreds of scenarios, ranked in one view
Every bar is a fully-simulated system. Sort the whole field by net present value, payback or IRR and see instantly where the sweet spot sits - not just a single suggested size.
- Rank by NPV, payback, IRR or biggest saving
- Compare solar-only against solar + battery
- Drill into any option for the full breakdown
Every dollar the battery earns, broken out
Apex separates the return into the streams a commercial buyer wants to see - self-consumption, export, peak-demand reduction and grid services - month by month across the year.
- Self-consumption and export valued separately
- Peak-demand savings from real network charges
- VPP and FCAS revenue from live market data
Cumulative cashflow, all the way to payback
See exactly when the system pays for itself and what it is worth over its life - with power-price escalation and each panel's real degradation baked in, so the return stands up to scrutiny.
- Payback, NPV and IRR from a full cashflow
- Power-price escalation applied year on year
- Premium vs budget panels genuinely differ
Upload a bill. Start modelling.
Apex reads a messy PDF bill and structures it automatically - usage, TOU rates, supply and demand charges - then sanity-checks the numbers against the bill's own totals so a bad read can't slip through.
Share a bankable, branded report
Turn the chosen system into a client-ready comparison your customer understands - your logo, the options side by side, and a dedicated electricity-plan page - ready to send.
Built for the way Australians actually buy energy
The levers that move a real deal - modelled properly, not averaged away.
Real network tariffs
Distributor demand and TOU charges by postcode, validated against thousands of real bills - so commercial numbers hold up.
Best plan, not just best panel
Compares live retail plans and shows the switch saving - because the cheapest plan often changes once you're exporting solar.
VPP, FCAS & demand
Values battery grid-services and peak-demand shaving from real market data - not a flat guess.
Panel-level realism
Premium vs budget panels genuinely differ - modelled on each panel's warranted degradation and temperature coefficient.
Return, not just savings
Payback, NPV and IRR with power-price escalation - the numbers a serious buyer (and a CFO) actually asks for.
Straight into a project
Turn the chosen system into a full Solar Proof project - customer, system and bill all carried across in one click.
Retire the spreadsheet
What used to take an afternoon and a lot of assumptions now takes under a minute - and stands up to scrutiny.
The old way
- Rule-of-thumb sizing and a flat rate off the bill
- Network demand charges ignored or estimated
- Every panel modelled the same
- Hours of rework for each what-if
- Numbers a sharp customer can pick apart
With Apex
- Hundreds of sizes optimised hour by hour
- Real network, retail and market data built in
- Premium vs budget hardware genuinely differ
- A new scenario in seconds, not an afternoon
- A bankable, branded report you can defend
