5. What is my SNRG SmartGrid?

  • Your SNRG SmartGrid is a communal energy system that generates and stores solar energy from the sun.  Our solution switches you to a cheap and environmentally friendly solution when there’s not enough solar energy stored and available in the battery.

  • We estimate that your SNRG SmartGrid will provide a ‘Fair Share’ annual credit of £191.28 per flat and avoid 1,897kg of carbon emissions, that’s more than a car emits in a year!

  4. Click “+ Add payment method” and enter card details

Please note at this point SNRG only accepts card payments via Stripe. Please contact us to discuss other payment options if required.

 

9. How do I pay my bill?

If you have set up your SNRG Stripe account we will simply charge the card on that account 28 days after you receive your bill. We will send you a reminder email a few days before we charge that card.

 

10. When will I get my bill?

  • SNRG provides bills on a monthly cycle, meaning every cycle starts on the 1st day of each month and ends on the last day of each month. You will receive your bill upto 10 working days after the end of each billing cycle. 

  • If you move out before the end of the month you will receive your final bill as per normal upto 10 working days after the end of your last billing cycle.

 

11. How does SNRG work out my bill?

  • Your SNRG SmartGrid is a communal system and the savings of the system are shared equally amongst its participants. 

  • To measure electricity consumption accurately there are separate meters for each apartment, plus additional meters for the battery, solar and grid connection. 

  • Every 30 minutes electricity consumption for each home within the SmartGrid is recorded individually on our SNRG Connect database. We also log the total amount of grid electricity imported and the cost of grid electricity for the same 30 minute period. 

  • At the end of the month we look at the total cost of electricity consumed and compare it against the total cost of electricity imported from the grid. 

  • Due to the solar array and the battery there will be a difference. This difference is divided by the number of homes in your SNRG SmartGrid and equally applied as a ‘Fair Share’ credit to your SNRG electricity bill.

12. What charges will be on my bill?  Your bill will have four charges and one credit:

  1. Charge one – Electricity usage

    We record your electricity consumption in kWh on a half hourly basis. Your consumption for each month is then multiplied by the electricity supply rate of 16.54p/kWh

  2. Charge two – Standing charge

    You must pay the grid electricity supplier what is called a ‘Standing charge’ but because the SmartGrid is a shared system you share a single standing charge. Your individual standing charge will be 1.3p per day.

  3. Charge three – SNRG SmartGrid Operating fee

    We will charge you £7.50 each month for operating the SmartGrid

  4. Charge four – VAT

    The VAT rate for energy supply is 5%

  5. Credit – ‘Fair Share’ credit

    Please see FAQ 11. ‘How does SNRG work out my bill’ for more details

 

13. What is the estimated ‘Fair share’ credit that I’ll receive from my SNRG SmartGrid?

By modelling the total annual solar generation, real-time consumption, and solar stored by the battery – against the estimated average consumption of the Solus apartments, SNRG has estimated that each resident will receive an equal annual credit of £191.28 spread across each month.

 

14. I have questions about my bill. What should I do?

The majority of questions about your bill are answered by the ‘SNRG Bill Guide’ available from the date the first bill is issued within the SNRG Connect app. Please follow the below process to access it:

  1. Click the ‘Menu’ button at the top of your app

  2. Select ‘Account’ and click the ‘Documents’ icon at the bottom of the page

  3. The ‘SNRG Bill Guide’ is accessible here

 

15. Can I switch suppliers?

  • If you wish to switch suppliers and stop using SNRG, you will need to leave your SNRG SmartGrid. SNRG will not charge a fee to leave or re-join. 

  • To set-up your own supply arrangements, you would need to request the installation of a meter, obtain an MPAN and then set-up a supply agreement with another electricity provider.

 

16. Will I still gain the SmartGrid benefits if I switch suppliers?

  • Although it is not recommended to leave your SNRG SmartGrid, should you wish to leave and retain access to the solar PV array, the system will need to be rewired and new hardware installed at the homeowners’ own cost. 

  • If you leave and don’t rewire the system, your share of the solar generated will be credited to you at the export tariff rate, less the SNRG SmartGrid Operating fee. 

  • The expected solar PV generation is estimated at a value to each apartment of approximately £115.20 per annum. After paying the monthly SNRG SmartGrid Operating fee of £7.50 (£90 annually) a resident may expect to receive a credit of approximately £25.20 per annum.

17. What do I do if I’m unable to pay my bill?

  • We understand that it’s not always easy to pay your bill. So let us know why you’re finding it difficult and we’ll work together on a plan that suits your needs. And if you already owe us money, we’ll discuss options for you to pay it back in manageable instalments.

  • We want to do everything we can to help you pay. But if there’s an outstanding balance on your account and we can’t get hold of you, we may have to take extra steps and we may need to charge you to cover the cost. But we’ll always let you know by letter or email before we add it to your account. And we’ll highlight your new balance in the next notice we send.

  • If you don’t pay, you could damage your credit rating. And that can make it harder to borrow money in future – including higher interest rates and stricter rules. You can avoid this by paying your bill on time or by letting us know as soon as possible if you can’t pay your next bill in full. We’ll then arrange an alternative way to pay that works for you – just get in touch with us through the app.

  • We know everyone’s circumstances are different. And we’ll do everything we can to protect you against disconnection, especially where we believe it could damage yours or your family’s welfare – particularly in winter. So we’ll only consider disconnection after we’ve explored all other options.

  • If your card payment fails, we’ll try to collect it again – usually around 14 days later. But we can also request to collect it for up to one month after the original due date. Don’t worry, we’ll always write to you to tell you when we plan to charge your card again.

  • If your payment fails for a second time, we’ll have to send you a bill instead. And you’ll need to pay this in full within 14 days via another method. From then on, we’ll go back to sending you bills for the electricity you use on a monthly basis.

 

18. What do I need to do if I’m moving out?

Simply contact us through the app and confirm the last day you want to have electricity supplied.
