Your $0.26/kWh rate starts on day one
From the moment your system is active, you pay the flat $0.26/kWh for the solar and battery energy your Pi system provides. During an initial energy-profiling period (currently around 90 days) — before your battery is onboarded to Pi's virtual power plant — any extra power you draw from the gridis still billed by your current retailer at their normal rates, so you'll keep receiving a retailer bill. With your solar and battery already working, that grid top-up should be small. Once VPP onboarding is complete, Pi advises you and all your energy is on the flat $0.26/kWh rate.
