Solar and gas bundle: Alinta
If your household has rooftop solar and also uses gas, bundling both services through Alinta Energy may simplify your billing. Some retailers offer discounts for customers who hold both electricity (with a solar feed-in tariff) and gas through the same provider.
When evaluating a bundle, compare the combined cost of electricity and gas against taking each service from the cheapest available retailer. Bundling convenience does not always translate to the lowest overall cost.
