☀️ What Is Solarmarkit’s Verified Savings Feature?

Our Verified Savings feature gives homeowners real confidence in their solar investment — and it’s only available to Solar Providers (SolarPro) who make offers through Solarmarkit. When a SolarPro creates an offer, they’ll have the option to include an estimate of how much you’re expected to save in the first year after installation.

That means the quarterly credit you’ll receive from your electricity provider — the money you’re no longer spending on power because your home is now running on solar. At the end of that first year, we compare the estimated savings with your actual results.

If you didn’t save as much as your SolarPro predicted, your SolarPro will pay you back the difference — simple as that.
Once your system is up and running, you’ll upload your quarterly electricity bills to your Solarmarkit Dashboard, and we’ll automatically track and calculate your real savings for you.

💡 TIP TO EARN:

If you’re a SolarPro — using the Verified Savings tool can massively boost your chances of winning jobs. Homeowners love knowing their savings are backed by real data.

🔍 Example A – When a Homeowner Saves Less Than Expected

Rachel (Homeowner)

Solar Provider: Your SolarPro

Your SolarPro estimates that Rachel will save $800 – $950 in her first year. After 12 months, Rachel’s actual savings come to $700, which is below the expected range. Rachel opens a case in the Resolution Centre, where she and her SolarPro discuss the shortfall.

Here, Rachel selects “Savings Not As Described” from the drop-down list of reasons, then clicks Continue to open her case in the Resolution Centre.

Once both parties reach an agreement, Rachel requests a partial payment, and her SolarPro reimburses her $100 via SolarPay in Australian Dollars.

🔋 Example B – When Savings Match the Estimate

Tim (Homeowner)

Solar Provider: Your SolarPro

Your SolarPro predicts Tim will save $800–$950 annually. After 12 months, Tim saves $900, which falls right within the range.

This means the SolarPro has provided an accurate and verified savings estimate.

🤔 Why Does a Verified Savings Feature Matter?

Buying solar shouldn’t feel like a guessing game.

With Solarmarkit’s Verified Savings, you’ll have proof that your system is delivering the returns you were promised — no speculation, just results.

🧮 How Does a SolarPro Calculate My Savings?

Before your solar system is installed, your SolarPro will use smart software to calculate your estimated savings based on a few key details, including:

• 🏠 Your roof size

• 📍 Your postcode

• 🔌 Your energy provider

These details help forecast how much electricity your system will produce and how much you’ll likely export back to the grid once it’s up and running. With Verified Savings, you can trust that your SolarPro’s offer is based on real data — not guesswork — giving you confidence in your solar investment from day one.

💸 What If I Don’t Save the Full Amount?

If your actual savings end up being lower than what your SolarPro estimated, you can easily open a case in the Resolution Centre through your Solarmarkit Dashboard.

Once you open a case, a chat will start between you and your SolarPro, giving them a chance to explain the reason for the lower savings — for example, unexpected energy usage changes or billing adjustments from your energy provider.

If both parties agree on the outcome, the case will be closed.

However, if no agreement is reached, your SolarPro will be required to reimburse you for the difference via your SolarWallet, within 30 business days after the 12-month savings review period.

🕵️ What If My SolarPro Disappears After the 12-Month Period?

While it’s rare, we understand that sometimes a Solar Provider might stop responding or no longer be active after your 12-month savings review period.

That’s why Solarmarkit has built in a layer of transparency and accountability to help protect homeowners and strengthen the solar community.

At the end of the 12 months, you’ll have the opportunity to submit a Verified Savings Review based on your real experience.

This review will appear publicly on the SolarPro’s Solarmarkit profile, helping future homeowners make informed choices when selecting a solar provider.

It’s in every SolarPro’s best interest to stay transparent and deliver on their savings estimates — because their reputation depends on it.

Unfortunately, if the SolarPro has completely disappeared or can’t be reached, you won’t be able to receive a reimbursement.

However, your Verified Savings Review ensures your experience contributes to the community — rewarding reliable providers and flagging those who don’t follow through.

🚀 Can I Save More Than Expected?

Absolutely!

If your system performs better — or if you make energy-smart choices at home — you might end up saving even more than what was estimated.

We love seeing homeowners get ahead with extra savings!

📊 How Can I Track My Savings?

It’s easy — just head to your Solarmarkit Dashboard and upload a PDF of your electricity bill under the Savings tab.

We’ll automatically calculate your real savings and show:

• Your quarterly results

• Total savings to date

• And a bunch of helpful insights about your system’s performance

Solarmarkit’s Verified Savings feature isn’t just about promises — it’s about proof.

We make sure your solar investment delivers what you expect, and your savings are transparent, verified, and fair.
