Please contact us as soon as possible. 

We can talk through your account and help you find a way forward.

Where appropriate, built-in safeguards may help stop debt from building up. This could mean your system switches to export mode while we work with you on a suitable payment plan. 

Moving home?

Please tell us before you move. 

The solar panels, battery storage and related equipment stay with the property. You do not need to remove or take anything with you.
