I seem to have a similar problem.
we purchased a new house with solar power 18 months ago and received our first electricity bill for $2200.00 over the 3 summer months. there are only 2 of us in the house. After a long battle with AGL and the ombudsman we ended up nowhere. then we received the next 2 bills at a normal rate of around $450 and now our last summer bill came in at a staggering $1500 again for the oct. to jan. summer months. we have air conditioning but intentionally did not use it. After the first big bill we changed everything possible that could be done to reduce the possible consumption.
Now after the second big bill I discovered through elimination and switching off mains switches that our house is using approx. 6-8kw from 10pm to 8am. God knows on what!!!
I have a funny feeling that my solar is adding to my meter read. in the 18 months we also changed to a smart meter.
a. why the power bill so high over summer? 3times more
b. is there an outfit that can find the reason for excess power consumption in my place in melbourne?
can someone please help
