Comparison sources
We review multiple comparison sources and relevant supplier-direct offers. Third-party comparison websites may receive their own commission.
What we check
A standard tariff comparison can miss the way a solar, battery or EV household actually behaves. SwitchSwitch uses the information available to make the review more relevant, while keeping the final choice with you.
The review covers the sources checked and assumptions explained. Availability and eligibility vary, and neither whole-market coverage nor the cheapest tariff can be guaranteed.
Rates, standing charges and tariff structure where available.
Generation and self-use context where relevant.
Charging and discharge patterns can affect tariff suitability.
Off-peak charging opportunities can matter for some households.

Where you have useful consumption information, we can consider it alongside the equipment installed at your home. The amount and quality of information available will vary.
Solar generation and export arrangements can matter to the overall household picture. Where relevant, these are considered separately from simple import pricing.
A battery may allow more electricity to be bought during cheaper periods and used later. Tariff fit depends on equipment, settings, household behaviour and the tariff itself.
The principle
But the reverse is also true: more complex tariffs are not automatically better. The purpose of the member review is to put the options in context.
