Understanding Your ROI
Payback Period: How long before your cumulative savings equal your initial investment. Most Perth batteries achieve payback in 7-12 years depending on usage patterns and electricity prices.
Net Return: Total savings minus your initial investment. Green bars indicate years where you're in profit. The visualization accounts for 2% annual battery degradation.
Scenarios: Compare VPP participation vs non-VPP, and see how optimizing export timing during DEBS peak hours (3-9pm) can improve returns by hundreds of dollars annually.
Important: These projections assume current electricity prices remain constant. Historical trends show WA electricity prices increasing 3-5% annually, which would improve actual returns.
