Spotcheck
independent · free

Should you switch to a spot-passthrough retailer?

Tell us about your home. We’ll run a year-long simulation against real wholesale prices and tell you, in plain English, whether switching would actually save you money — or cost you.

Where you live
We use this for typical solar at your roof and which wholesale market you're on.
01
Used to look up your solar profile and NEM region.
Your current electricity bill
The more accurate this is, the better your estimate. Both options stay on your device.
02
$/year
Total for the last 12 months across all bills. Rough is fine for a first estimate.

Peak · 4–11pm
32% of your load lands in the 7–11pm peak. That’s where spot prices hurt or help most.
Solar
Most homes have either rooftop solar or none. Pick what matches today.
03
6.6 kW
On your inverter or last bill — usually 5–10 kW.
Spot prices can go negative on sunny days — curtailment lets your inverter stop exporting before you pay to feed the grid.
Battery
Spot prices favour batteries — they shift cheap solar into expensive evenings.
04
Hot water
A controllable hot-water system is one of the biggest spot-price wins.
05
We use a privacy-respecting CAPTCHA to keep automated traffic from burning through compute on our solver.
